Funny how there are 29 posts before this one and no one mentioned that Kuechly was rated the 6th best player in the draft ahead of Cox who was 9th. Funny how he thinks that Kuechly is one of the best players in the entire draft while haters on here keep trashing him in other threads. Either Mayock doesn't have a clue or kuechly critics don't. I know who I believe...............

I definitely believe Kuechly will be a good player, no doubt. I think whoever gets him will have a 100% All-Pro. However, I just don't think he's what we need, right now. We need someone who can generate a pass rush or cover someone (like Rivera said). If Kuechly could blitz well (which, maybe he can. He just wasn't asked to at BC), he would be an awesome pick up.

he'll be a good blitzer until a lineman engages him because the defensive line cannot wreak havoc or even at least hold the point of attack and then he'll be neutralized

I am starting to think there is a good chance for Kuechly to be our pick at 9. If he is, I think he would be a great addition to our D and a pro bowler for many years. He is great in coverage, with safety-like coverage/ball skills and great instincts and speed. If we go with him in the first round, I would like us to pick up either Dline or CB talent in the 2nd.

Definitely.

When your defensive tackles are made of marshmallows, it's hard for LBs to do anything.

21. Cam Newton*, QB, Auburn

I know, Cam Newton at 21 -- why? I believe in this kid. I believe in him as an athlete, I believe in his arm strength, but I don't believe he's in the top 10. He's got top-10 ability, but he's a developmental prospect. As a general manager, I would be comfortable taking him somewhere in the 20s.

No where in there did he mention character concerns, just that he was a developmental prospect.

5. Blaine Gabbert*, QB, Missouri

He's my No. 1 quarterback. He comes out of a spread offense, and his footwork needs to improve, but he has all the rest. He's athletic, has a big arm, loves the game of football, has anticipation to throw into small windows, and the accuracy to back it up. He could be the first guy off the board.

To be fair, lots of people thought Cam was a developmental prospect. No one thought he was gonna come in and rewrite the rookie QB records.

But yeah, I never understood the hype around Gabbert. Not at all. I thought Dalton was overrated too though. Chalk me up as 50/50 on those two.

Trust me, he may not say anything about character, but I promise you, he always bumps guys down that have character concern. I've been watching Mayock for a long time, he's always done it.

Plus, people on here thought Cam was a developmental project. Everyone on Earth, minus about fifty coaches, owners, family members, and Cam thought he was a developmental project.

And, a lot of people also thought Gabbert had a chance to be good. But, he got shellshocked, like happened to David Carr. And those first few hits were enough to ruin him as a QB.

I think we can find our DT or DE in the second and lose less than we would if we pass on Kuechly and go for a LB in the second. Part of that is that we don't know who will struggle, Davis or Beason or both. Who else but Kuechly on that list played both OLB and ILB and still ended up either first or second in tackles in college. He is the most versatile which makes him that more valuable to us. There are guys in the second that can be a pass rusher for us.

I know a lot of you guys don't want nothing to do with Devon Still, yet if we don't select a DT in the first round, Still could still be availble in the second. Of course, I have a suggestion that it would be good to trade our second rounder, and try to pick up a third if we can.

Funny but the draft analysis says he is very good at engaging blockers and using his strong hands and speed to work around them in traffic. Linebackers don't try to hold the point of attack against a guy who is 60 lbs heavier. They work around the blocker and use their speed against the slower blocker. He is excellent at doing that.

But I don't worry about the defensive line like you do. I would like to draft a d linemen at some point but think we need some other positions as well.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
