I wonder if McKelvin is a possible cut

[Sportsuser101]

With the addition of Harvin on ST maybe Buffalo drafts a CB and McKelvin is expendable. Not that I think it's the right move but it could be part of the thinking.

I don't see why, he's gotten to be a very good corner, IMO

Re: I wonder if McKelvin is a possible cut

I might be in a minority, but I think McKelvin is a really good player at a reasonable price. Whether McKelvin or Graham is considered our 3rd CB, they're essentially a starter in today's NFL with your 3rd CB usually taking anywhere from 60-70% of the defensive snaps. We always have injuries at CB and never seem to have great depth. I wouldn't get rid of any of our CB's at this point. I don't think you can expect a rookie to come in and replace McKelvin.

If Freddie's spot isn't safe, nobody's is.

i'm not the biggest mcfumbles fan, but I would be upset it they did that. I think that would be a mistake

McKelvin is about as solid as a #2 corner gets, and he is relatively inexpensive. No way they cut him, especially with our glaring hole at the one safety position.

I actually would like to see us try Leodis at FS. He's a ballhawk more than he is a cover corner, so it seems like he'd excel in more zone coverage.

Marbles was playing very well before he got hurt. No way should he be cut!

I'd rather Graham make the move. He has a tendency to get toasted by the deep ball and just lacks the top end speed to really shut things down. He's probably the best corner on the team inside of 20, but he started to be targeted. A move to FS would be great for him.

Robey is really good in the slot and I don't see much drop off. That would put our best 5 DBs on the field for most of the plays.

Re: I wonder if McKelvin is a possible cut

McKelvin is OK. He never really became a dominant corner to justify his draft status, but he's a serviceable starter.

I highly doubt we could find someone in the draft who could step in and play at McKelvin's level. The only way that I see this happening is if some FA that we have to have becomes available and we need to find cap room.

Re: I wonder if McKelvin is a possible cut

I sure don't think so. Imho, he played his best game under Pettine which means he'll be studly under Ryan. I liked McKelvin not at all until he played his game under Pettine, so I'm thinking he's probably just short of awesome under Ryan.
