Big and has CB1 potential.

And he’s fast. Ran a 4.39

Can’t even be mad about the pick. I’m just happy we didn’t trade you for a RB

Then they grab Booth. Things fell to them nicely.

Bills are so stacked. Can’t keep all the picked players anyway (with all draft picks going into today), love the trade up. Get the guy you want, let’s go!

Pre-Draft Analysis
Elam is a tall corner with outstanding straight-line speed. He excels in press-zone coverage, where he can lean on his best traits -- physicality and instincts. He has quick feet and closes well, but he's tight and too "handsy" at times. He has shorter arms and smaller hands, but he had six picks and 26 passes defended over the past three seasons. -- Steve Muench

Post-Draft Analysis
Elam is an immediate impact opposite Tre'Davious White at cornerback -- a position of need after the Bills lost starter Levi Wallace to free agency. The Bills need more coverage assets in the wide receiver-heavy AFC, and Elam is battle-tested and ready to step in. -- Miller

Projected Year 1 impact: Day 1 starter. Elam steps in as the starter opposite Tre'Davious White and potentially makes this one of the best secondaries in the league. -- Muench

Agreed. Trust Beane so much. He likes a guy, get him and who cares about that pick dude crushes 1st round draft picks! (Sounds easy but a bunch of GMs are really bad at it).

Buffalo Bills: Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida - B Grade
With Kaiir Elam and Andrew Booth on the board, it didn't seem necessary for the Bills to give up a fourth-round pick to move up for a cornerback. I think this pick is solid though. Elam could have gone earlier than this, and he fills a huge need across from Tre'Davious White.

A 4th isn’t a big deal. I won’t lose sleep over it and beane. Doubt he will

Get your starting CB or trade down ….. that is what beane was thinking

yep but it's easy to have a good draft when you have 2 top 10 picks and a later first. Johnson is severely overrated - one of the worst rush win %'s in the nation. Also, We have Josh, they don't so....

Elam 6'2" 3.39 forty, 37.5" vertical - Beane loves his creature freaks

Johnson might be, but getting him where they did is great value

Pick was ok
Very curious why we felt the need to trade up
Didn’t make much sense
