I understand we have lots of other spots on D that need to be addressed, but I think this dude is the REAL MF DEAL. The guy isn't even 21 yet. He has led the nation the past two seasons in tackles. Having him and Beason on the same field for the next 7 years or so wouldn't even be fair. Go watch the tape. This dude does not miss tackles and has the instincts of a rabid wolverine. Hurney, pull the trigger.

No issue here with it....dude is flat out an all around great football player. He also made more plays BEHIND the line of scrimmage in college than guys like Willis or Beason.

Beason + Luke > Beason plus whoever. In a league where RBs and TEs have morphed into recieving options. LB is important despite what some claim.

LB play was worse than DL play last year. Beason coming back doesn't fix everything

It won't do any good to waste your time going back and forth because people don't value the position and have high hopes Beason will come back 100%. But i do agree that when you consider attitude, desire, work ethic, production, measurables, etc, I think he is the best defensive player in the draft and will make a big difference to whoever takes him. He is good enough to start day 1.

That is all I will say.

I totally agree with your point about the TEs in the league. It is a necessity on defense to have LBs that can lock up TEs. I've always hated Tony Gonzales burning us and of course Jimmy Graham is a problem. So a LB who is versatile along with Beason is a great addition. I'm excited about this pick!

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
