1. (11) Leodis McKelvin, CB/RS
The Buffalo Bills grabbed cornerback/return specialist Leodis McKelvin of Troy with their first round pick. McKelvin is a little bit on the small side at 5’10″, 190 pounds but he’s very fast as he runs a 4.4 40. McKelvin was a very productive corner in college and he projects into a starter. He played in 48 games (36 starts) at Troy and he made 173 tackles, broke up 27 passes, intercepted 4 passes, forced 5 fumbles and he recovered 2 fumbles. McKelvin also returned 99 kickoffs for 2,346 yards (23.7 avg) with 1 TD. McKelvin is a dominating punt return man however. He returned 112 punts in his college career for 1,471 yards (13.1 avg) with 7 TD returns. He will likely be the starting punt returner from Day #1 for the Bills. This was a excellent pick for the Bills.
