OUCH!!! Can't believe you hosed the Bills on this deal - LOL! I'm running a Bills franchise and McKelvin is the cornerstone of my secondary. He's bigger than McGee and has a 1-point edge in MCV rating than McGee so I usually stick him on the opposition's number 1 receiver. He's done a pretty good job so far. I'm hoping the Eagles release Ellis Hobbs so I can have two young up and coming cornerbacks.

In FA, I picked up leigh bodden and i forgot who else i picked up, but i can say my secondary is very balanced now. Also i picked up Kellen Clemans because I could not deal with Jackson as my starting qb. Drafted a bust, but ended up with some good picks. In order to have a great LB core, I traded the 1st round pick...and Ben Leber to San Diego for Shawne Merriman. So far into the season, 5-0 getting ready to play the Patriots.

Probably the smartest move I've heard anyone do on these boards.

The draft class I got has 3 QB that will have "A" potential so that will be nice since Favre retires after the first year anyways. I Simulated the preseason and Chester is down for 4 weeks was the big lose. I moved Ian Johhnson ahead of Albert Young because of potential reasons. Harvin is my return man and I plan to pass to him a lot. So anyways. Just curious if someone else has used the Vikings and how there season is going. Thanks

Dont be so sure about that. I drafted the highest potential QB with the first overall pick and guy not only demanded TONs of money, but only had C, yes C potential.

Yea. He is a very good corner. I didn't know to much more than he was 80 overall and young at first, but he is really good. Now he is my starting CB at a rating of 85 compared to winfield's 89. I am liking the trade, because it helped me get a 84 "A" potential QB Kelly James to take Favre's place
