Kaiir Elam Rising Up Draft Boards
3 years agoFlorida cornerback Kaiir Elam is another player that is making a last-minute move up draft boards on the eve of the first round of the NFL draft. Elam could be the third or fourth cornerback selected in this year's draft, which is much higher than the previous predictions that had him being taken toward the bottom of the first round. "Tall guys that can run, they don't stay on the board for long," one anonymous NFL executive said. Derek Stingley Jr. and Sauce Gardner are the two cornerbacks that are locks to come off the board early in the first round, but Elam has gained some steam himself this week. Elam's height (6-foot-1) and speed (4.39-second 40-yard dash) make him an intriguing corner prospect.
