Luke Kuechly - Page 8

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.

Rates Kuechly his #6 overall prospect.

Hence, why Hightower would fit better here

Mayock was basically splitting hairs. He stated Kuechly one possible weakness is the possibility to be covered up at times along the line of scrimmage but he still makes the tackles. He wins the battle more times than not. The rest of his game is top notch. You don't make over 300 tackles in your career if your getting killed along the line of scrimmage that often.

I think he's improved and is playing very good football.

Belcher is a FA next year.

His spot is also one of the few on the defense that also could be considered for upgrade based on the guys that will be there at #11.

It's not so much wanting Belcher gone as it is recognizing that Kuechly has a higher ceiling. I don't think anyone will be pissed if Belcher is our ILB, but like Kendrick Lewis, he's a guy that could be replaced with one of the available players when we draft in round 1.

I don't mind upgrading positions, but I think we should address those where we have no clear answers first.

I also don't think Belcher will be hard to re-sign.
He hasn't exactly been a world beater.

I won't kick the cat if we draft him, he's a hell of a football player, I'd rather have DeCastro or Tannehill though.

If Kuechly can gain and maintain 10 to 15 pounds to play in the box( strength purposes) then I'm cool with him.

Have you guys watched just the first minute or so of the Clemson video linked in this thread? This LB waits for the TE to run past him before he turns his hips and starts to move? WTF is that? That's the best Mayock has seen recently? Check out he run support. He isn't aggressive...he runs along with the pack, making some tackles and not making others. He isn't impressive. Watch the video and tell me what you see?

I would pass on a player based on one play too.

YOU probably would. Did you get dropped on your head a lot as a child?

I'd be perfectly happy with the Chiefs selecting Kuechly.

What's Up KC!!!

I can't decide, do I want Poe or Kuechly? Kuechly or Poe?

Poe would be a huge upgrade at nose tackle where we do NOT have anyone up to his potential. A great nose makes the 3-4 so much better, this guy could be another Wilfork!

Adding Kuechly would be huge too. Playing him next to Johnson inside? Look out.

Anyway, I was checking a new mock, released today by the guys at sportsmasher posted a new mock today, and they went with Poe.

Here is the link, it's a great ad in depth mock!!!

ESPN's latest story says Kuechly is the surest pick on defense in the draft.

That's a bold statement

I wouldn't be mad at all if he wound up on the Chiefs

I disagree. DeCastro has such command of the pre-snap stuff he's the surest pick ever.
