You could have used that 4th to move up in the second round, there was no way that Dallas was going corner. Bean just got nervous and ***** up. I like Elam but that just made zero sense This might be a shock, but Beane is probably working with better draft intel than the fans. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Oh no, we traded away a 4th round pick! How will we ever possibly fill that massive hole when we only have next years draft, next years free agency, trades to possibly make, and other free agents still out there. The Bills will be feeling this massive loss 5 years from now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Smart move. Don't know much about the prospect, but with 2 safeties who can cover his rookie ass while we wait for #1 to get healthy- I like this concept. Now trade up and get us a bad-ass LB or RB.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with all the people obsessed about losing a 4th rounder to move up. This player is going to be a killer fit for this team because of the athletic profile and his work ethic. He's exactly what we should want in a CB2 role and has the tools that Levi Wallace straight up didn't have. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocCityRoller Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 1 minute ago, ScottLaw said: Yep….better get him some more help though. Need better playmakers outside and some depth upfront…. Please no more defense the next couple rounds. I wanted OL badly - When Green went 15 or so and then Johnson and Penning very early I was pretty sure Buffalo was going to go CB. RB and TE are real possibilities in the 2-3. Some decent OL mid range too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcalbillsfan Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 5 minutes ago, Bruffalo said: I'm seriously surprised to see the disdain on this board with this pick. Elam is going to be great opposite Tre. He has a speed element that the secondary is seriously lacking and he has great measurements. When we're playing guys like Hill, Waddle, and now Jameson Williams multiple times a year we're going to need this kind of speedy man element to ensure we don't get killed in YAC. This is a great piece to make our defense that much more dominant. We get torched by Hill and the cheifs passing game for years and the Bills get a cb with elite speed and people grab pitch forks lol 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s not like he amassed those numbers playing in a weak conference against second tier competition either. He faced the best receivers the SEC had to offer. And he’s only 20.

Ross Murdock Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 One thing I am 100% certain about. In the past 3 months of round 1st draft discussions on this board. With literally millions of words typed. The words Kaiir Elam was NEVER typed once!! Makes one wonder about the value of this discussion when reviewing the Bills selection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its obnoxious isn't it? As if the Chiefs didnt just trade up for McDuffie, it was utterly impossible that someone trade up for Elam? Or that it was utterly impossible that any other GM liked Elam?

Buffalo_Stampede Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Mel Kiper nailed our pick. Quote 25. Buffalo Bills Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida I really struggled here because I wanted to give the Bills running back Breece Hall. I just can't do it, though I'm going to be kicking myself if general manager Brandon Beane takes Hall. Ultimately, Beane could find a good back on Day 2. Buffalo's need at corner is just too large to use a luxury pick here. Elam is a long, press-man corner with some ball skills 9 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stank_Nasty Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 9 minutes ago, Logic said: Let's use a different example then. How did Levi Wallace and Dane Jackson do against the Chiefs' receivers in the playoffs? If I’m being completely honest(and I’m OKAY with tonight’s pick), I don’t think anyone shy of sanders and Revis was stopping either of those qb’s in arrowhead that night. IMO defense is a great regular season tool for seeding. But come playoff time the top qb’s are cheat codes and almost defense-proof. I would much rather stock Allen’s cabinets and field the same ole top 5-10 style McDermott defense. But I’ve already talked myself Into the pick. So whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened.. and now the jets gets Johnson. Jets killed it. Luckily we have 17 I'd have assumed you'd have been thrilled because his arms aren't under 30". He was the guy they liked. He has the speed neither has. A lot of people *ahem* said something similar when we drafted Josh Allen. Reports are Dallas liked Elam. Even if they weren't going to take him, if he was their guy above all others, why risk the possibility of someone possibly trading in front of us in Dallas' slot to take him with teams knowing we needed CB?

More pointing out the obvious struggles this team has had drafting a starting CB since Tre 5 years ago. But..Dallas was probably only looking at O-line at 24, based on what was left of 1st round quality picks. There was plenty of time for a team behind the Bills to trade into 24.
