TRADED Cowboys trade for CB Kaiir Elam from the Bills

[big dog cowboy]

Wasting draft picks we could use great this team is braindead

Did you see the terms???

 

[charron]

I'd rather keep the 5th round pick.

Not a bad trade. Has traits. Just never developed in Buffalo. What they should have done to get Mingo. The kid has a chance to start here.

.....I'm gonna buy in on this move. Roll of the dice....with starter potential.

 

[Sheepherder]

You and the FO are way to hung up on draft status. Remember when the 49ers told us Lance couldnt play? Or Carolina with Mingo? Here is edition number three.

How many tier 2 guys have the Cowboys hit on so far? The reason I ask is Stephen said they were going after tier 2 guys. Does anybody know?

 

[Carson]

Did you see the terms???

People cry about not signing people and cry when they make moves.

They sent a Comp pick and a 7th. Nothing lost

Cowboys should be sponsored by BFI. DUMPSTERS R US

 

[big dog cowboy]

3 or 4 of these draft picks if we are lucky will have a role on this time. Might as well trade.

Yep. Considering what we gave up, if he makes the team as CB4 it was worth it. Not likely to find a player like that that late.

 

[KingCorcoran]

Nothing more than a “he’s family” pick up.

 

[lopey]

Is it dumpster diving if he was a 1st rounder just 3 years ago?

Traded for a 7th round pick tells me he is a bust

 

[big dog cowboy]

If he allows us to cut Andrew Booth then he is already worth moving down from a 5th to a 6th.

Mingo vs Elam in camp is going to be lit!

but but that 7th could a 5th TE that will sit on the practice squad all season and who will be cut next year for another 5th TE.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

2022 first round pick. 12 starts in 3 years, never more than 6 in a season. Missed a lot of time with both injuries and just being inactive on game day.

Good reclamation project if he doesn’t cost much

Some PFF stats for 2024

305 snaps

277 outside
28 slot

18 receptions allowed on 24 targets. 75%
118.4 rating allowed

70.2 overall grade
67 coverage grade (would love to hear the explanation on this with a 118.4 rating allowed
75.6 run defense grade

Think so? I like the move, but Carson has already shown about as much as Elam

 

[cowboyec]

i liked him coming out.
no problems with taking a shot.

 

[sdfidaho]

PFF graded him at 70.2 and 47th out of 223 CBs last year. Jourdan Lewis was 71.7 and ranked 43.

They desperately needed a body at CB and that’s what they got.
This isn’t horrible

Tells me Buffalo wanted to get rid of him. Just like we did with Amari. Forget the terms just trade him.

 

[popp1234]

Come on. We lose a 5th and 7th and gain a 1st round pick two years ago and a 6th

Well, we got plenty of 5ths, so I don't have a problem with the trade. I think the potential upside is worth it.
