Re: Best LB availble should be our pick
That would probably be Kuechly. If we can sign a LT before the draft (Bell, Mcneil, Collins), I would be happy with Kuechly, Floyd, Martin, Reiff, Kirkpatrick. I would take a long look at Lavonte David in the 2nd if he's there.
That being said, singing a LT in the next month can really give us flexibility come late April.Last edited by Slim; 03-21-2012, 04:23 PM.

Re: Best LB availble should be our pick
I have also been thinking about this lately so i'm glad someone brought this up. I read the post about how much Kuechly compared to Willis coming out of college either on this board or another and thought man if Kuechly is 80% of what Patrick Willis is than he should be the pick. I mean we are building something great on the defensive side. Drafting Kuechly and moving Shepard to SAM backer would make quite a bit of sense and would greatly strengthen our line backing core. He could be worth it at the 10th pick as a lot of people think he could very well end up either going at pick # 11 or 12 to either Kansas City or Seattle.

They shouldn't even be in the same conversation.
If there was any comparison to be made he would be considered a top 5 pick, which he is not.

I'm Ok with an o-lineman, corner, or even WR, although I really hate to drift from a 'go big early' philosophy.YardRat Wall of Fame

Re: Best LB availble should be our pick
Personally id agree, id love to see a top end pass rusher, lb or db added to this team at #10. This team now has the potential for a playoff calibur defense. Upshaw would be a sick addition to this D.

I am not saying there is a comparison. I just read something that compared Willis's combine numbers to Kuechley's and actually Kuechley was better in almost all categories than Willis. I mean their college careers are quite comparable to. I'll try to find the stats for you but like I said if Kuechley is 80% the player that Willis was coming out you gotta take him.
Here is the comparison that I saw:
Kuechly Willis
Height 6'3 6'1
Weight 242 242
40 time 4.58 4.51
Vertical Jump 38 inches 39 inches
Broad Jump 123 inches 119Last edited by gonzo1105; 03-21-2012, 05:15 PM.

The dude isn't worth the #10 pick to a 4-3 team. Maybe even not for a 3-4 team.
Why draft a questionable fit rotational player at #10 overall? It doesn't make sense.
