I thought for sure that we were going to go with Rogers-Cromartie then i seen that we chose McKelvin and i was completely stunned. I've came to the conclusion that McKelvin was definitely one of the best CBs in the draft but i still don't understand why we didn't chose DRC. I mean he's taller, faster, and has a higher vertical. The FO said that they chose McKelvin instead because of his kick/punt retunrning abilities. We already have Parrish and McGee!!! Are you kidding? And even the fact that in the interview he sounds like a full blown ****** pisses me off even more. Hopefully once the season starts McKelvin will prove that he was the right choice. I'm just lost.

Re: I really want an explanation
Taller and faster does not mean better. I just checked, it turns out we arent playing any of our games on paper next year. All of them will be decided on the football feild. Could it be perhaps that the bills(and a lot of people) think McKelvin is the better corner.Originally posted by DrastiKLast edited by venis2k1; 04-28-2008, 06:07 PM. -
Re: I really want an explanation
I'm just trying to convince myself the McKelvin is better, but i just don't see it.

Re: I really want an explanation
Using McGee as a return guy is playing roulette.
Beyond that, we got the best corner.
How could you "see it?"
Do you follow these college teams that closely?
Did you work them out or talk to them?Comment

Re: I really want an explanation
Well Einstein... The reason McKelvin is better is because he is a better overall CB in regards to playing vs the run and coverage. Also the fact he came from a better division.Comment

Re: I really want an explanation
I heard that Magic Johnson can still run a sub 4.3, we should bring him in to replace Lee Evans.

Re: I really want an explanation
Although the game isnt played on paper, mushmouth had almost 4000 allpourpose yards and returned over 100 kicks. I personally think that McGee has lost a step. Mckelvin will not take Roscoe's job, but i believe we may not be using our no.1 cb for return fodder much longer.Comment

Re: I really want an explanation
I think you need to be real careful with guy's that suddenly make a name for themsleves at Senior Bowls and Combines. I think McKelvin was by far the better choice.Comment

Re: I really want an explanation
I wouldnt have minded DRC either but I cant argue with the Bills.Originally posted by DrastiK
No, I could, but I have about 1/100th of the information on both these guys that they do. Many people feel he was the best CB.
They did their homework and tons of it, I cant use my inferior knowledge on these guys to fault them.
Name your top 10 CB's in this league.

Re: I really want an explanation
I was happy as heck that we DIDN'T take the "One Kidney Man". I know ZO and Sean Elliot played in the NBA with one, but I think it's pretty safe to say that football is just a little bit more rough. I think we'll be more than happy with McKelvin when it's all said and done.

Re: I really want an explanation
The explanation is simple - DRC has a higher potential that he may achieve, but right now he is currently less polished. McKelvin also offers ST (kick/punt returns) supposedly at Devin Hester's level. That frees up McGee from always having to do it and McKelvin may even be better than Parrish (???). The only knock on McKelvin is that he doesn't have good hands to intercept balls - but then DRC wasn't an intercepting machine either...Originally posted by DrastiK
I would have gone with DRC based on long term potential. But McKelvin is a fine CB on his own and will likely not disappoint.Comment

Re: I really want an explanation
I knock the Bills FO all the time, so I have to give credit where credit is due.
McKelvin is by far the better choice over DRC. DRC came from a small school and no one was even talking about him until after the Senior Bowl and the combine. He had one good game against top talent and a good workout. That's not to say he won't be a good CB someday or even be better than McKelvin, but he's a project and carries a lot more risk. We shouldn't have to deal with that at the #11 pick, especially since our team has so many more immediate needs.
Given the situation we're in and where the pick was, the FO made the wiser choice.Comment
