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 think Cary Kollins drinks more than Kerry Collins

[PantherBrew]

Hm no surprise that Cary Kollins wants us to draft a white player.

[CarolinaNCSU]

Not saying he would be my favorite pick, but I think there is a great chance we take him and I wouldn't be mad at the pick.

[Cary Kollins]

Man I am fugging pumped we got this guy. I think this is a pick we look back on in five years and say 'man that was such a great pick'.

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!
