Peter King's 2012 Mock

If we are really wanting to pick an Ilb with our first pick, i dont see why it would be Kuechly over Hightower. You add another pick. I think Hightower is just as good and just as athletic if not more, he for sure plays faster. I dont think the pick will be an Ilb anyways. Look up Mychal Kendricks from Cal a 2nd round pick who ran a 4.5 dude's crazy athletic

Gotta have a partner to dance with. We have no clue who is or isn't interested in trading.

What you make it sound like is that taking Kuechly at 11 is better than trading down and taking Hightower.

No one is making that arguement though.

Pretty sure anyone with a brain prefers a trade down over anything else (staying at 11 for anyone, or moving up) at this point.

didnt mean that at all. I was arguing against that.

And its very likely a player will fall to 11 and a team jumps on it (i hope). Im just saying if that option is there Kuechly would not be worth staying place

Yeah, I ****ed that up, i meant that it sounded like you think people actually prefer Kuechly over trading down.

I'd trade down in a heartbeat. We just can't bank on it.

If we're stuck though, Im not mad with Kuechly. In fact I like him better than most dudes, unless someone drops unexpectedly.
