Saints | Team looking to trade up for McKelvin
Tue, 22 Apr 2008 22:41:28 -0700

Josh Buchanan, of NFLDraftBible.com, reports the New Orleans Saints are looking to trade up for Troy CB Leodis McKelvin. The Saints worked McKelvin out Tuesday, April 22, and came away very impressed. The Saints are afraid the New England Patriots or Baltimore Ravens will get McKelvin, so they are looking to move up from No. 10 overall in the 2008 NFL Draft.

I'd be satisfied only if Ellis and Dorsey are off the board when we pick, lol. I love McKelvin, you people underrate him. He'll be a great man-to-man cover corner and he's invaluable in the return game. If he turns out as good as Pacman I won't be surprised.

man-o-man are the saints ever laying down the smoke screens this year. We are talking to everyone about everyone. I like it. No stone unturned.
Ok I will go with this one. Yes he is good. I would not mind the pick. But once again looking at draft history there is no way he is a top 10 talent in any other draft. It is still a gamble with a lot of money on a small school CB that really does not measure up to previous top 10 talent. Maybe he is and I am just not seeing it.

Preach on. I'd rather take Antoine Cason, much further down than 5th overall.

Re: saints looking to trade up for mckelvin
 

Good observation, and I hope you are right. I wouldn't want him at 10, let alone losing a third to get him at 6.

Re: saints looking to trade up for mckelvin
 

you guys don't get how good McKelvin is lol. He's the best CB in the draft. in last years draft he'd be a top 15 pick.

there's no way in hell they trade up for a corner.. are you ****in serious. i'm sorry that's ridiculous.

Hey, while you've got your crystal ball out - would you mind giving me the winning lottery numbers?

Re: saints looking to trade up for mckelvin
 

Can you say rope-a-dope. No way do the Saints move up to take McKelvin. It's nice to see that they are making people think they would, though. :)

Re: saints looking to trade up for mckelvin
 

thats not even close to speculation buddy, he's proven himself in the return game and as a man to man cover corner.

Re: saints looking to trade up for mckelvin
 

Hell No!!!!!!!!!! I rather stay put and draft DRC if that's the plan!

Re: saints looking to trade up for mckelvin
 

while i think the biggest need is to draft a CB i doubt that they will move up specifically for him because of the depth at CB this year in the draft...if he is gone i think we will be content with DRC but i would love to see them be aggressive about drafting someone....the saints have tendencies to let their highest rated players get away from them

Re: saints looking to trade up for mckelvin
 

i believe that the 2 corners best suited for the saints system are DRC and McKelvin...they are very speedy and can cover man to man as well as nebody....in a saints defense that consists a lot of 4-3 and nickel defenses....we are going to need a CB who wont get beat deep and has great recovery speed....both of these CBs have that speed and have the height and talent to contend on a pro level....ideally i think we need a bump and run press corner....unfortunately the best 2 corners in this draft dont allow for that but we will make do and draft one of two great corners

Re: saints looking to trade up for mckelvin
 

Well put. I like Flowers as a potential second round pick as well. He is not in the same class as these corners, is probably better at zone coverage, and doesnt have the timed speed but he has been a stalwart on a great Hokies defense the past 2 seasons. 31 pass break ups in two seasons shows he can cover. Cason, Porter, and Lee are others I like in the 2nd.
