Luke Kuechly - The Right Choice

[g5jamz]

Offense has Superman...

Defense has Clark Kent.

Absolutely. Anyone have his Wonderlic score?

If we are willing to move Beason from the middle, why not just keep Connor? And use this pick somewhere else like DE or CB.

Because Connor got exposed as barely average overall and absolutely pitiful in coverage. Connor couldn't hold Keuchly's jock.

Not exactly setting the bar high for him are we.....lol

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Conner was nothing more than a run specialist with great instincts but athleticly limited...justifying why guys in underwear run around cones at the combine.

A guy productive in college but is subpar in measurables...drops from a first round pick to third where Hurney pounces on the fallen top graded players (Kalil, Jarrett, Brown, Conner)

Kuechley was incredible in college and destroyed the measurables with no offfield concerns...

LINEBACKER SWAG!

This is a pick that may make you scratch your head now. In 6 years you will look back on this moment fondly. Clearly the Panthers didn't like something about the other prospects on the board. I have to trust their judgement.

See those stars? That's impressive.

If he can cover the TE's we face, absolutely worth the pick.

Dude is an athlete that's for sure... wtf does it take to get a star in bench press? 27 reps is damn impressive.

Not sure...probably either top 5 or top 10. Can't recall.

I just looked it up... out of the linebackers that lifted, 5 did more than 27 (the most was 36) and 2 did 27 as well. So strength wise, he's in the top 10 in his class too... with his speed that is very impressive.
