Luke Kuechly 4.5 40

Crazy time, always looked good on tape. These linebackers are flying.

6'3" 240, we need range at LB. Move Kelvin to SLB.

May be the BPA at 10.

Love the player, would have no issue with the pick. I'm not sold on Sheppard as a starting caliber LB anyways.

Re: Luke Kuechly 4.5 40

Why move Shep? Kuechly might be better outside that him with that type of speed.

Zach Brown's 4.44 at 244 Lbs was wicked impressive. Also impressed with Brahdam's time.

Re: Luke Kuechly 4.5 40

Just followed it with a 4.78.

Also good to see Terrell Manning at 237 lbs. 4.63 and 4.75

And ran a third time at 4.59.

This thread is why people should stop putting so much weight in the 40 yard dash. He's not even a first round caliber LB, top 10 is insane.

This happens every year.

I believe you quoted the wrong post, Kuechly was granted a 3rd time not Manning.

Yeah, you're right.

Oh I wouldn't peg him at #10 either.

I don't put much stock in 40 times. If you look at who ran the fastest 40 by position every year in the past, most people wouldn't know who the players were because they weren't starting or even backup caliber players in the league.

Re: Luke Kuechly 4.5 40

So he's not even a first round talent.

Seems like he has everyone fooled then.

Some of your contemporaries on the twitter see him at a top 12-15 guy DB, I take it you disagree>?

Heavily.

Great tackler in the 3-5 yard zone, but rarely makes plays behind the LOS or at the LOS. In the 43 as a MLB I want a guy who can split the gap and get behind the LOS.

That's not his game and that's why he's not a player I take in the 1st Round. He's a smart, angles player, but he's pure read and react. Limited instincts, he'll be a long term NFL player in the mold of London Fletcher in style.

A LOT of teams would have taken London Fletcher at # 10 if they knew he would have been this good. DB and I have disagreed about Kuechly before and still will, but if he is London Fletcher Good, sign me up.
