He had a couple highlights but yeah he sucked. Arthur Brown, my man-crush that year, was even worse. If I’m being honest, Brown was worse than Elam and that’s saying something.
that 2013 draft class ironically was what made me get into the draft - ive been hella into it and doing my own scouting etc (and getting better every year) since the 2014 class which was really my first proper draft where i actually understood everything
and it only happened because arthur brown and matt elam flamed out
we have 1 guy left on the roster from that draft - brandon williams
we have 3 guys who contributed to comp picks when they left - rick wagner, ryan jensen and kyle juscyzk
we had 1 guy who's gone on to be a successful player elsewhere - john simon
we had 2 notable udfas from that rookie class - marlon brown (who still is tied in first place for franchise rookie td record lol) and brynden trawick
imagine how good that draft would have been in hindsight if we'd nailed even one of the first 2 picks (or even just got a solid starter out of one of them)
with all the 1st round busts we've had as a franchise, it's still amazing that somehow arthur brown might have been the worst draft selection in franchise history - like he's in that conversation which is crazy for a 2nd round pick who didnt shame the franchise in any way off the field
