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.
Up to a point, look at what Lou did. If you can't tackle, you wouldn't have been retained and we'll just get a FA that can. He overhauled the defensive backs completely. Jessie Bates really had to work on his tackling to be average in it.
