Carolina Panthers Round 1 Draft Selection - Luke Kuechly

[bleys]

They just told TD they have no faith in him.

our franchise shouldn't bury their head in the sand...

bye thomas davis it was nice knowing you :(

Excellent pick. TD has been in the league 8 years with multiple surgeries. It's too bad, but our LB corps is very good with this addition. LK brings much needed run defense as well, and all around he is a great athlete.

No project here!

After looking at Lukes stats in his 4 seasons with BC. Well over 500 tackles. I might end up liking him after all. Anderson, Beason, and Luke starting and TD backing them up. Hoping Mcclain and Fue has growed up some and will play much better. Hope we get Jenkins at CB in 2 round at 40 and then use the rest of the picks to fill the holes. Our D will be good to go.

I think a lot of fans around here have way less faith in McClain and Fua making a impact, than the FO does.

Fixed it for ya.

Why in the blue hell are you saying this. Stop it!! TD ain't going no where. Just because they drafted Luke doesn't mean crap. At best TD can be a very good backup for us. Unless TD suddenly blows out his knee again. But which no one knows when or where it could happen or it will ever happen again. Chill the freak out. Enjoy the rest of the draft and stop worrying so much.

So you admit that we have only 1 starting linebacker we can count on, and yet you think that Kuechly was a pick that didn't fill a need?

[Toundra]

If you are looking at the Panthers roster noone use the N° 40 this is the only reason we have drafted Kuelchy.

No more whining i want my 2, no its mine..

Honestly we have 3 lbers we count on. Anderson,TD and Beason. Luke is a big time pick for us. TD will mostly back up those 3. Having TD as a back is better then most backups in the league right now. My opinion only. Beason will be fine. Don't worry so much.

Kuechly will be defensive rookie of the year..tackling machines always get the votes.

I felt it was a need that could have been addressed in round 2 or later. TD coming back is a long shot but what if he does? Then we have to choose to sit Davis or Kuechly and we are not a 3-4 team so both cant be out there. Just back to the same old log jam we have had for years but this time we passed up on a great DT to have it.

@snake: Rivera stated throughout the year he beleive in our third rounders from a year ago. I wasn't thrilled at first but I realized TD won't be what he used to be. It's a smart choice. He can tackle and cover well.

Whatever the choice is tomorrow I'll stand begin him because I believe Rivera is set out to build a strong defense and has had a good history of dominant defenses.

did you have a point?? What about timmons?? best cover LB in the league playing in the middle. Just trying to make you see that LB's are actually very important and not to be confused with FB's as you did.

Yes rush LBers are extremly valuable. Probally better than good DE.
