Mike Triplett on ESPN's "First Take"(merged)
McKelvin is our guy according to ESPN First Take
Recap- ESPN First Take just went over the Saints draft according to their mock and they have us choosing McLovin. This is how is goes so far.
1. Dolphins - Chris Long
2. Rams - Jake Long
3. Falcons - Glenn Dorsey
4. Raiders - Vernon Gholston
5 Chiefs - Sedrick Ellis
6. Jets - Darren McFadden
7. Patriots - Aquib Talib
8. Ravens - Matt Ryan
9. Bengals- Phillip Merling
10. Saints- Leodis McKelvin
The three guys they had us considering were Rivers, DRC, and McKelvin. I guess any of those guys would work since ellis and dorsey are gone. McKelvin is considered to be the top cb by many experts so he might be the obvious choice. They did talk about his upside, but didnt speak very highly of his ball skills. Im kinda worried about that one because i always thought that great corners usually have great ball skills. They also talked about his role as a returner, but said that might upset bush. (as in the saints might start to consider putting him in the role of our main returner). I am not against that idea at all since he is obviously not a everydown back and we are paying him lots of money. We might as well get every penny out of him. Alot of people say cant risk the injury factor but i say screw it. Someone has to do it so why not let him have a shot, besides we would be paying McKelvin lots of money to do it anyway.
