Continuing to work on bolstering a
subpar defense, the Bills started the
run on CBs with Leodis McKelvin.
McKelvin is a talented returner as well
for a club that highly values special
teams. They got a highly regarded big
man WR in second round (6-5 James Hardy)
to team with Lee Evans.
On a side note we love it when a players
name fits so they get bonus points for
the aptly named Reggie Corner, who plays
that position.

McKelvin is one
of the best defensive backs in the draft. He has
everything you look for in a CB. Decent size, good
speed, good hips, and a fluid backpedal; the only
real knock on McKelvin is his hands. He gets his
hands on a lot of balls, but cant seem to catch at
all. He was a true shutdown corner in college as he
hardly ever even got thrown toward as a senior also
holding down his numbers, but with DB's many times
the numbers mean nothing for that very reason. He
also is an explosive punt returner.
Notes: McKelvin was only a two year starter and
has a lot of upside.
