Waste of a pick. Not that he’s bad. It’s that the FO and coaching staff aren’t on the same page with this guy. He doesn’t and never did fit their scheme so someone had to give and apparently the coach has made that decision that he was a wasted pick.

I think they don't trust what he is going to give them on an every play basis yet.

 

McD's D is predicated on all players doing their job all the time...


I respect that probably correct assumption. And the reality is that is an awful grade for a 1st round pick in year two. If Elam’s status changes in the future, great. Right now, oh my god.

Isn't that what most coaches want? Don't you always want your players doing their job all the time?

I get Benford and Elam were taken in the same draft so it kind of eases the pain of Elam not playing. However, not having him active for the first 3 games screams a mistake by Beane and CMcD. Elam has shown in the past he can play but if he’s not playing because he is a man corner instead of a zone corner then it was just a stupid pick. If he’s not playing because of poor practice habits then that’s on Elam and I get it.
