UticaBill Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 This pick made the least sense to me.... the kid is a ball hawking smurf, but at the time There were very good OLBs and TEs available which seemingly fit much better than another corner who might be 5th or 6th on the team, while a TE or OLB would at least be a #2 or 3.... THEN with the 5th round pick you can afford to go get FB Owen Schmitt.... The team is misfiring badly today... they had their chances at getting much better players at positions that were thinner in depth.... I have no problem with a CB somewhere later on.... Funny thing is.... then with the 6th pick we take a RB! ??WTF?? I am trying to have faith in the scout team but this just makes so little sense to me!

Acantha Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Listening to the scouts, they love the guy. They seem pretty damn excited to have him. Doesn't really mean anything, but usually during those interviews everyone's so stoic, it's nice to see some emotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sen. John Blutarsky Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 OK.. the draft just turned sour for me. Why do we need another CB? Because Ashton Youboty is still on the roster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 A good secondary will help the pass rush? You've got that backwards. A good pass rush will help the secondary. Never heard of a coverage sack? Once again, the defense works as a unit...benefiting one area will help the others as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sen. John Blutarsky Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 You don't even know the guys name who we signed in FA? That is funny. I consider him our best CB at the moment, and I'm really glad we have James here. eh. James is ok. i dunno if I want him as a starter. It will be interesting to see if they start McKelvin out of the box or if they spot him in and let him run back kicks for awhile. McGee McKelvin Greer James assuming he stays healthy and Youboty doesn't remember how to play football Corner or Youboty depending on who steps up IMO - barring an act of God Youboty is gone, possibly first cuts at camp.

Sen. John Blutarsky Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 And he has not lived up to expectations so far. That was the point. As long as Ashton Youboty is on the roster we need another corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sen. John Blutarsky Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 5'9", 175. Perfect for covering all those short guys. Oh wait. WE have all those short guys. Except Wes Welker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills_red Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 The more I hear about him the more I'm liking (I did see 1 game of his didn't really jump out) Sounds like a Greer type player. So for a #4 CB he will be very good. Would I draft him in round 4 no, but I can't really do anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see us keeping 6 DBs and 4 safeties.... Plus an STer...(Maybe not) Starters (Initially) - McGee and Greer with James as Nickel back and Mckelvin/Corner/youboty as Dime backs.... with reserves being the two that lost the Dime spot. After the BYE I think our Starters might look more like....McKelvin and Mcgee with Greer/james in the nickel and whomever loses out in the dime... I think Wendling will be the STer we carry.... if we do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really mean anything, but usually during those interviews everyone's so stoic, it's nice to see some emotion. I did notice the same thing in the Presser after the Corner Pick...They LOVE this Kid...They said over and over again the only negative is His height...I think they actually said that some in The Bills Organization felt He was the best CB in this Draft...Does not mean a thing until We see this Him against NFL competition...But there is no question The Bills were going to Draft Corner unless someone blindsided them...

If this were so, then why on earth would they use a #11 on McKelvin? Are there any other positions out there that matter even a little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR, DE, TE, LB, OT all mattered a little in this draft. DT mattered a little when we used a 3rd for Stroud. G, OT, LB, RB mattered when we spent boat loads of money and high draft picks on them last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
