Funny how there are 29 posts before this one and no one mentioned that Kuechly was rated the 6th best player in the draft ahead of Cox who was 9th. Funny how he thinks that Kuechly is one of the best players in the entire draft while haters on here keep trashing him in other threads. Either Mayock doesn't have a clue or kuechly critics don't. I know who I believe...............

I definitely believe Kuechly will be a good player, no doubt. I think whoever gets him will have a 100% All-Pro. However, I just don't think he's what we need, right now. We need someone who can generate a pass rush or cover someone (like Rivera said). If Kuechly could blitz well (which, maybe he can. He just wasn't asked to at BC), he would be an awesome pick up.

he'll be a good blitzer until a lineman engages him because the defensive line cannot wreak havoc or even at least hold the point of attack and then he'll be neutralized

I am starting to think there is a good chance for Kuechly to be our pick at 9. If he is, I think he would be a great addition to our D and a pro bowler for many years. He is great in coverage, with safety-like coverage/ball skills and great instincts and speed. If we go with him in the first round, I would like us to pick up either Dline or CB talent in the 2nd.

Definitely.

When your defensive tackles are made of marshmallows, it's hard for LBs to do anything.

21. Cam Newton*, QB, Auburn

I know, Cam Newton at 21 -- why? I believe in this kid. I believe in him as an athlete, I believe in his arm strength, but I don't believe he's in the top 10. He's got top-10 ability, but he's a developmental prospect. As a general manager, I would be comfortable taking him somewhere in the 20s.

No where in there did he mention character concerns, just that he was a developmental prospect.

5. Blaine Gabbert*, QB, Missouri

He's my No. 1 quarterback. He comes out of a spread offense, and his footwork needs to improve, but he has all the rest. He's athletic, has a big arm, loves the game of football, has anticipation to throw into small windows, and the accuracy to back it up. He could be the first guy off the board.

To be fair, lots of people thought Cam was a developmental prospect. No one thought he was gonna come in and rewrite the rookie QB records.

But yeah, I never understood the hype around Gabbert. Not at all. I thought Dalton was overrated too though. Chalk me up as 50/50 on those two.

Trust me, he may not say anything about character, but I promise you, he always bumps guys down that have character concern. I've been watching Mayock for a long time, he's always done it.

Plus, people on here thought Cam was a developmental project. Everyone on Earth, minus about fifty coaches, owners, family members, and Cam thought he was a developmental project.

And, a lot of people also thought Gabbert had a chance to be good. But, he got shellshocked, like happened to David Carr. And those first few hits were enough to ruin him as a QB.

I think we can find our DT or DE in the second and lose less than we would if we pass on Kuechly and go for a LB in the second. Part of that is that we don't know who will struggle, Davis or Beason or both. Who else but Kuechly on that list played both OLB and ILB and still ended up either first or second in tackles in college. He is the most versatile which makes him that more valuable to us. There are guys in the second that can be a pass rusher for us.

I know a lot of you guys don't want nothing to do with Devon Still, yet if we don't select a DT in the first round, Still could still be availble in the second. Of course, I have a suggestion that it would be good to trade our second rounder, and try to pick up a third if we can.

Funny but the draft analysis says he is very good at engaging blockers and using his strong hands and speed to work around them in traffic. Linebackers don't try to hold the point of attack against a guy who is 60 lbs heavier. They work around the blocker and use their speed against the slower blocker. He is excellent at doing that.

But I don't worry about the defensive line like you do. I would like to draft a d linemen at some point but think we need some other positions as well.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
