Luke Kuechly - Page 11

Chiefs=Champions · 03-25-2012, 08:46 PM

I think this guy is the pick.

He really does everything well. Obviously in the defense he played in he plays more of a DJ type roll, roaming around making plays, but that dosnt mean he cant be a thumper.

A few times in this video he does a great job of disengaging from the blocker and making the stop.

Lets be honest here. There are many on here that love Kuechly and there are those like Milkman that don't really care for him.

I guess it depends what your looking for in a ILB. Are you just looking for a thumper that makes the big hit but lacks any pass coverage skills? Or are you looking for a production guy that "MAKES" the sure tackle, doesn't have durability issues, has a very high football IQ, excellent character/locker room guy and can play all three downs?

There is a reason many draft experts/ex-GM's think Kuechly may be the safest prospect in the draft.

Kuechly is high floor, low ceiling.

**** that

Gimme an impact guy at 11, pz

Those guys are ex gm's for a reason

For what we need our other ILB to do, seems to me that Hightower fits the bill.

I'm assuming this is all bullshit and you're attempting irony.

O-city is right on Hightower. More thud...less dud.

I read somewhere, I think walter football, so grain of salt. He said that Bama moved Hightower around that he was very versatile in the lb spots. Said he was a good blitzer too.

**buddha** · 04-15-2012, 09:53 PM

Hightower is being overlooked, IMO. You knew where he was on the field anytime you watched Bama. He made great tackles and was a real enforcer. Straight up, he is the inside backer I'd love to see in KC.

Yeah one of them is an ex because he drafted Mario Williams instead of Reggie Bush.

You'd take Bush over Williams straight up right now? I wouldn't.

No the guy is an ex gm because he won 18 games in 4 years.

Saban said that about Hightower at the 'Bama Pro Day. I think people forget that before Hightower had that really nasty knee injury he was considered an athletic freak. And he's finally far enough removed from the injury that you're seeing that athleticism come back to the forefront. The big knocks on Hightower are going to be he had that horrific knee injury, stiff in the hips and lacks elite speed. The upsides is he's a big powerful guy, he's shown development as a pass rusher with a swim move and use of his hands to keep himself clean. Power to stack and shed blockers, good instincts playing inside etc. There is a lot there to like especially with him as a guy playing next to DJ where he's primarily going to be tasked with things that aren't man coverage.

Maybe I missed it, but have we even had a visit or talked to him yet? Just thought that was odd given all the talk...

If the Chiefs take a linebacker, Hightower is a far better fit for this team.
