I voted Elam because I think he's better equipped to be "sticky" to receivers given his size, athleticism, and speed.
I do also like Gordon a lot though, but I think he's going to get beat more by the likes of faster receivers such as Diontae Johnson.
Gordon will definitely make a good amount of plays though and is a sound tackler.
I'd be perfectly ok if Gordon does get picked. I just prefer Elam.
That's where I am, as well. There is always an annual debate on weather the lesser gifted, but more polished player with a lower ceiling is more of an asset than a guy with superior physical attributes, but needs some development to master his craft.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
