That would certainly guarantee a CB injury and an immediate need to get him back. 

 

no, this would only happen to the Bills…oh, nevermind

All-rookie team players available when we drafted Elam

Karlaftis - DL

Linderbaum - OL

Devin Lloyd - LB

Jalen Pitre - S

Ken Walker III - RB

 

 

just a huge miss and another time Bean went position over BPA.

Dalton Kincade says hold my beer 

Kincaid and Torrence. Saying that McBeane draft only defense is such a lazy take.

 

They will draft a DL in the first, they can't help themselves... Kincaid

Oh well, now in 2nd round they will draft a LB, they can't help themselves - Torrence

3rd round LB, probably BPA on their board - you see, they had to draft undersized LB, they can't help themselves.

Next year - they will only draft defense, they can't help themselves. 

If they draft WR or OT in the first, move to second.

Rinse repeat.

I'm thinking of all the exotic type of defenses you can play having a good press coverage CB. Think of how they used Deion Sanders to shadow the teams best receiver and play zone coverage everywhere else. 

Seriously.  He’s a great chess piece.  I would hope McD could scheme up something for him. Doesn’t seem like he’s willing to at this point

He's just not that good and Benford is. 

 

Remember when we would have just gone ahead and played Elam? “He just needs some experience.” We’d have to, because we had so little to work with. The slow start and possible bust hurts, but I’m happy we have some pretty good CB’s ahead of him.

What value did he really have to begin with.  

My guess is it could have been a somewhat high pick considering he’s still 22, has at least three years of control left, and has that “potential” label. However, I’m concerned a lot of that was wasted by hanging onto him and allowing other teams to see him inactive the first two weeks.

At this point do they think of making him a safety? Poyer’s days are numbered. 
 

I just don’t know.

 

Wasn’t there talk of moving Benford to safety last year? Looks like Elam needs to figure it out before we can consider that. But maybe in 2024?

To me it’s strange because I really do consider McDermitt to be the cornerback whisperer. He can take chicken ***** and turn it into chicken dinner.
 

But not this time and it was a high round pick too

That was my argument for taking another position early on. McD is arguably the best in the league at getting the most out of DBs.
