What do we ask thumpers to do?
Attack the line of scrimmage, slam the hole, shed blocks and rack up tackles in the box.
There is nothing to suggest Kuechly will be anything other than stellar in this role.
His ability to shed blocks are as good as anybody. He doesn't hit with authority, but he doesn't miss tackles either by going for the big hit. He will require less than a season's worth of development and be as good as anybody in the league by his second season.
He is a sure thing.
He's not necessarily who I'd take at 11, but he's a sure thing.

He's a sure thing? Sure to do what exactly? You must be very easy to impress if you looked at that video and came up with, "sure thing!"
Kuechly is servicable...not dominant. If you're taking a LB at this point in the draft, he had better be dominant. We're the same team that passed on Patrick Willis. Think about it.
Belcher is good enough, and Kuechly won't be an improvement anytime soon, if ever.
I'd go offensive line, CB, or defensive line at that position if the right guys were there. If not, trade down and get more picks.
