I really like Belcher, but many are forgetting how we were constantly torched by TEs and Belcher played a part in that. Having an inside LBer who can cover, would improve our defense by leaps and bounds. I still prefer the NT, but there is no denying Kuechley would improve our pass coverage.
I don't think there's another ILber in the draft that can cover like Kuechly can, so I'd like to think he's at the top of our draft board and I think we'll give strong consideration to drafting him, if he should be there at 11.
