Eleven Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I personally like the fact they're seeing the larger picture. Quickly, man, please tell me about this picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I would've liked this pick in a trade back, but I'm not a fan at 50. It certainly helps long-term as they likely have to cut/trade McKelvin as others get paid soon. Right now it doesn't do a whole lot. You need a lot of corners but he's going to be the 4th/5th corner on the depth chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously.... we haven't drafted one in the first 3 rounds since 2012. In a stunning development, bills fans hate a draft pick.

TrueBlueGED Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Quickly, man, please tell me about this picture! Drafting at the back of the 2nd round isn't exactly a spot where you're guaranteed a starter at any position. Our current corners are Gilmore-McKelvin-Graham-Robey-Brooks. Brooks is terrible, so I'm not sure he really counts. Despite what the Bills are saying publicly, I haven't seen anything indicating Duke Williams is good enough to lock down the starting safety position across from Williams--I expect Graham to be flipping between corner and safety depending on the personnel package. If Duke can't hold it down, then Darby is likely our nickel as a rookie. Beyond this season, McKelvin is only under contract through 2016, and the Bills can save $3.9 million in cap space next season if they cut him after this year. Given the way Clay's contract got structured and the need to sign Dareus to an extension, I think it's very likely he gets cut for that cap space. Darby has a year to develop in a depth role before taking over as starter across from Gilmore next season, especially since Whaley has said we're not players in UFA next year so we probably can't sign a corner upgrade there. Given how important corners are in Rex's defense, I think it's a smart move. Again, I personally would have gone OL and hoped to get an immediate starter there, but going corner is pretty logical.

Hoss Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Why is he going to be the 4th or 5th corner on the depth chart? Gilmore, McKelvin and Graham. 4th. Robey and Cockrell will battle for time. I expect that Darby wins out there, but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 The four positions I wanted them to stay away from in this draft were: CB, RB, TE and WR. I want to see QB, OL, DL and LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good points but I can tell you Donnie Henderson loves Duke Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I think this pick probably doesn't bother me if we have a first round pick. Not having a first round pick isn't horrible, especially not this year, but it changes the mindset a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
