Why Not Kuechly To Tampa?

Recommended Posts

I know normally MLBs don't go top five unless they're "blue chip", but, why does it seem like a lock in every mock that I read that they'll draft Claiborne? I know he'll be BPA there, but it doesn't fill a huge need. Eric Wright, Aqib(pending), and Ronde is a lot invested in CB, while they have trash bags at MLB.

Why is there no hype that the draft will look like this?

1. IND-Luck

2. WAS- Griffin

3. MIN- Kalil

4. CLE- Richardson

5. TB- Kuechly

6. STL- Blackmon

7. JAX- Floyd/Ingram/Coples

8. MIA- Tannehill

9. Car- Claiborne.

You have to put %7Boption%7D brackets and a full URL. It's 2012 dude learn computers.

I think he did it on purpose showing how little he cares for this thread. The message was still clear but with 90% less effort of finding a link.

Richardson will almost single handedly fix their offense. Blount has gotten to the point he tips off literally almost every play. Plus, Richardson is a beast on top of being the diverse RB they need. Richardson's impact IMO could be bigger than anyone in this draft. Normally, I am not a fan of drafting RBs high.....but it is almost scary how much he could aid the offense.

Plus, they have no CBs in the NFCS.....so again, Claiborne is easily a better choice

I hope for our sake....they get Claiborne

in the above mock, Richardson is off the board when they pick.

It would be nice if we didn't have to play Richardson, we have enough trouble stopping the run..

I would love for them to take Kuechely because I would feel much more comfortable thinking we will walk away with a good DL prospect that way. :P

    • Every team does it's homework. More so than any fan.  Brooks, had he not been injured, would have been a first round talent.  I have zero problems with the team (Dan Morgan and company) drafting Brooks in the 2nd.  He is a fantastic talent.  As far as risk, this is the NFL.  Any and every player is exposed to the same brutality that the NFL is.  Despite Brooks latest setback, it doesn't cost the team much.  Our running back room is stacked.  Could they have drafted someone else? Sure. No promise that someone else would have made an impact last year.  Or this year.   When it's your job to do what Dan does, I pray you get it all right. Lord knows that there isn't a single GM that gets it all right.   
    • Dang, we might not be able to create the same magic from last year!
    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.
