He's a better prospect than Derrick Johnson was at the same stage (no worry about the inability to self-motivate with Luke). He's more athletic/had better combine numbers than Pat Willis or Jerod Mayo.
He's a three down guy that can play sideline to sideline with incredible instincts.
You want a valid comparision? Think of London Fletcher combined with Brian Urlacher and you've got what Kuechly has the potential to be.
The guy is absolutely elite for the ILB/MLB position.
That being said, I don't think he's a "perfect" fit for the 34 defense that Crennel runs. However, if I was a 43, especially a Cover 2 43 team, I'd be looking at trying to acquire his services as much as possible. I don't see how Seattle passes on him and as such, I think he's the guy that the Chiefs will use to try to trade back down out of the #11 pick. Any 43 team with a question at the MLB spot is going to look hard at getting in front of Seattle to draft Kuechly. He is that good and merits a trade up if you need a MLB in a 43.

I agree with this post.
And while he's not a better "Belcher", he's such a better overall player, he would make our defense better overall.
He's one of my top 5 for Chiefs picks.
