If we take Luke Kuechly who plays MLB?

I really like this guy.He may not address our most glaring need but I feel there is something special about this guy.....his intangibles point to an over achiever who I feel is worthy of consideration.To bad your nose for the ball cannot be measured at the combine.

Rip me about this guy and eat your words in a couple of years http://www.derp/2012/3/2/2838294/past-and-present-luke-kuechly-vs-dan-morgan

Then he will need to get much better in pass coverage

That's one of his strongsuits, he plays well in Man to man and in zone against TE's and slot WR's. He showed this consistently while at BC.

Aaron Curry v2.0

You don't draft a great tackler in the Top 10.

He's not just a great tackler, he's really good in coverage and excellent between the trenches against the run. His athleticism will allow him to learn how to blitz the QB easily.

He's got sky high intelligence, football instincts, plenty of strength, speed and athleticism that he isn't Aaron Curry 2.0, not even close to it.

I'd take him happily if we could manage to trade back.

His combine plus his game tape has put him into the top 15. So trading back isn't going to cut it. There's a few teams between 11 and 15 that will take him and I doubt he falls past the Eagles.

I agree with you however I do not think he will be the BPA when we pick. If we take him, I will be behind him though.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
