Well we certainly have a need there. 

Losing a generational player like Kuechly and then the complete lack of starter quality guys after Shaq and Whitehead leaves us with perhaps the weakest linebacker corp in franchise history.

The chances of building this unit back up immediately without investing significant draft capital is about as likely as winning the lottery, but hopefully we can find some good special teams and depth guys there we can keep for a few years until we can draft another LB stud (hopefully).

Best case we have a serviceable group this year. Worst case we end up like last year...

I'd rather see this group struggle than the overpriced guys who quit by varying degrees the 2nd half of last year 

My biggest hope for the organization right now is that whoever scouted and touted the drafting of Kuechly, Thompson, Beason, Davis, Morgan and Witherspoon was still part of our scouting department. If we lose that guy, we're going to have a hard time rebuilding the LB corps to the Carolina standard of excellence.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.

      no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.

      Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
