Would you have Drafted differently?

Connor can play outside, too, but the entire point is, he can play the 4-3. Here's more proof that Mecca is FOS on this and just can't admit it...
Dan Connor, LB, Carolina Panthers: The key to the Panthers defense hinges on the play of the linebackers, and Connor gives them a playmaker to offset the loss of oft-injured Dan Morgan in the middle. Although Connor's position has yet to be defined, his ability to play inside or outside gives defensive coordinator Mike Trgovac the option of sliding Jon Beason over to weak-side linebacker in their base defense. With Connor in the middle flanked by Thomas Davis and Beason on the edges, the Panthers have the speed to clog up running lanes in their 4-3 defense.

That isn't contrary to anything mecca has ever said about Connor.

I believe he even said Connar is a good fit for the Panthers.

He just doesn't believe that Connar is a good fit in the Chiefs cover two.

Sorry, but the cover two is part of a 4-3 base defense. Mecca is flat-out wrong about Connor, saying he can't play in the scheme-it's proven that he can. No big deal, just want to set the record straight.

Yes, a cover two can be part of the 4-3 package, but it is not the base defense for the Panthers.

The 4-3 is the base defense for the Chiefs.

The 4-3 is the base defense for the Chiefs.

I wonder where the chiefs were projecting him to play when they were considering him at 73, inside or outside? It would be interesting to find that out.

Just wondering.
