Why have I started hearing more Reuben Foster to the Panthers chatter this week?

I'm just having a hard time buying the Foster hype. He has marginal size and speed for an NFL LB and he was surrounded by other NFL talent on that Bama defense. Then there's the fact that he got booted from the combine for an incident with a medical professional.

I'm just not seeing the love affair with this guy. Take him out of a defense where the talent level is head and shoulders above the competition and is he still a special player? I'm not so sure about that.

From a pure game tape perspective, I have heard some call him the best (or 2nd best) all around football player in the draft. That doesn't take into consideration any other factors than game tape.

The one comforting factor I have here is that our defensive staff seems excellent at evaluating talent. If we pick a defender early I have little doubt that the guy is going to be a beast.

If we draft him, then that tells me we have serious concerns about Kuechly going forward and that would seriously bum me out. Concerns (well founded concerns at that) about another elite MLB played a big role in us drafting Kuechly.

But, if we have major concerns with Kuechly, I think we just need to admit we're snake bitten with elite young MLBs and role with JAGs there. I don't want to mention the names, but Panthers fans know them. Let's please not add Kuechly to that list.

That's just it. I DON'T think the Panthers think there's anything wrong with Kuechly. If they did, you'd see subtle things like Panthers social media backing off him being the #1 guy they post pictures of on Facebook and Instagram. They haven't, in fact, I'm seeing more Luke there than ever.

He's the best LB in the draft by a mile. Would be more of a "meh" pick to me. Literally the only pick I'd be actually upset with is Jonathan Allen .

I hate allem

Would not be shocked if he is the pick but he doesn't move the needle for me.  But i don't wear shorts up o my nipples so there's that too.  G's got this.  I support him 110% right up until I demand his firing for screwing up.

Panther fan who can't wait for the draft

90% of the Huddle will be on suicide watch if this happens.

As far as bpa it would be a great pick and ease some concerns about Luke...

Mouth breathing idiots will justify any pick.

Carolina is going BPA at #8 and Foster is definitely not BPA

2017 predraft has hits levels of anxiety that could easily match that of a mexican stand off with pistols. Gettlemen is gonna put on his 1990, oversized Starter shorts and go to work. I trust his ability to do his job. In saying that...

I do hope the pick is OJ or a particular LSU running back. 

At a minimum..a TE to replace Dickson in the first rounds. Now ill show myself to the proverbial "internet door"
