"It was very much by design," said Bills head coach Dick Jauron of the team's cornerback acquisitions. "Actually going into free agency we felt like we had to get a veteran corner and in the draft we had to find three."
Buffalo covered all their bases with respect to their cornerback needs signing veteran free agent Will James in March before drafting McKelvin (1st), Reggie Corner (4th) and Kennard Cox (7th).
The Bills hoped to draft at least two corners, but were presented with the opportunity to take Cox and didn't blink.
"It could have been two drafted players and a college free agent at that position, but when Kennard was still present, we really thought a lot of him as a player and couldn't pass that up at that time," said Jauron. "So it ended up being three drafted players and we're really happy with it."
