Cowboys draft room looks like an evil lair.

the guys in the background (on either side of the Cowboys logo)  literally looked like they were in a black and white movie

Not in love with Elam but I’ll trust Beane. I guess I don’t get why they traded up. I mean I guess Dallas could have taken him or they had intel someone was trading with them but man does Jermaine Johnson Johnson have an injury flag

[Aurelius]

Nobody can criticize the pick.  The biggest need has been filled.  Now open season to go after our other big needs.  I’d love to land Breece with the second rounder but we will see. 

[Ethan in Cleveland]

 

If any poster ever says Beane drafts BPA again they should be banned for two weeks 

This is ridiculous.  He could have traded down and gotten an extra 4th and got the same player. 

Every dam year Beane gives up picks for no reason.

If McD likes a first round CB, I can’t second guess it. Measurables are there. Not a ball hawk, but a strong tackler and great in press coverage.

Actually his weakness is tackling. 

[Ralonzo]

Just don't see Elam being that much differentiated from the tier of corners left on the board. Would have been pleased with Daxton and they may wish they'd taken Lloyd after another season of lack of playmaking from the second level.

[BillsFan2313]

What did we give up?

another early round bean blunder

Yes, another one.  Like taking that bum Allen when Rosen was still available? 😁

4th round pick to move up 2.  Was it worth it?

Expand  

yes

 

buffalo isn’t keeping all their picks. Roster is too deep.

 

you figure picks 1, 2, and 3 are on roster. Others are PS unless a major impressive camp occurs

[damj]

Elam! Nice, love it! Very happy with this pick!

Beane must have loved him… because he very well could’ve been there at 25.

 

in Beane I trust…

Expand  

Beane panicked and was still shell shocked from the KC trade up with NE. He could be a great player but definitely not who we were originally targeting.

[WotAGuy]

Maybe he was the last first round graded guy left on their board and jumped to grab him

[Rock-A-Bye Beasley]

They're talking on the draft network about how Elam could have been a Dallas target

[nedboy7]

There has to be a legit reason for the trade up. 

[Playoffs?]

That was lackluster… I say trade back up into the first round Beane!  Just because

Why did they trade a 4th round pick for 2 spots to pick Elam?...

 

I think he definitely would have been there at 25

Expand  

I agree but there was probably another team that was going to trade up for a CB. 

[Orlando Buffalo]

If we really wanted him and we only have 4 or 5 guys from this draft making active roster the 4th rounder is nothing to get your guy 

[Rock-A-Bye Beasley]

The best part about this pick is it is not a running back
