Buffalo_Stampede Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 To trade up I’m guessing Elam was a 1st round grade for Beane and company. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloFan68 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I'm not a gator fan but I am a huge Elam fan. I predict that he will end up being the best CB in this draft class. He has it all, size, speed, athletic ability and smarts. Now if we can land Breece Hall and Punter, Matt Araisa then I'll hit the trifecta. Let's Go Buffalo!!!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 3 minutes ago, 716er said: Beane wanted to get faster on defense offense. Somehow premium resources tend to shade toward the defense. At this rate, I think McD won't be satisfied until all the defensive is 1st rounders/high dollar UFAs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously they had him rated much higher than Gordon and perhaps Booth was off their board for medical.

Brandon Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 If there's one thing the Bills know, its CBs. I can't argue with it. They certainly needed one. Now, I hope they shift the focus heavily to the offense from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 6 minutes ago, HappyDays said: I would not have traded up for him but one thing I know for sure is that if we took him it's because his football character is pristine. I said before the draft I will NEVER doubt the Bills when they pick a CB as long as McDermott is in charge. Yeah, the trade-up was weird. 8 minutes ago, Iverwig said: Wow! I figured the Bills would draft a CB but surprised they traded up for one. Dallas wasn’t taking a CB but maybe Beane got word of another team trading up. That was my thought, we believed someone else would trade up with Dallas? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternOHBillsFan Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Great pick from McBeane!!! Love it... tall corner, very athletic, played in the SEC.

You got to think they vetted this guy well though It's not just the culture- Gators had huge issues on defense and got toasted early and often. Elam never popped to me the way most of our past 1st round DBs have. Was actually shocked when they said he was a 1st rd pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I'm just thrilled Beane got a CB he wanted in Round 1.

YoloinOhio Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) I hate to say it but UC’s corner isn’t nearly as talented as Florida’s corner. No, I don’t hate to say it.

Also, all their draft picks this year were never making the team. They could be slightly more liberal trading away picks this year. i agrer only the. 2 and 3 picks I expect on the roster anyone else in PS unless they blow doors off in camp and the set aside a roster spot fir one of these surprise players you basically have 24 on each side of ball P K L.s 2 for injury or surprise prospect that might not clear waivers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
