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.

lol at least 14 of those are gang tackles and assists including kuechly, and god knows how many past the line of scrimmage

i wonder who got full credit for those tackles, surely not the guy that ends up with 191 at the end of the season

Seriously??? A guy runs 20 yards to drag down a receiver or makes a play at the sidelines chasing a running back and you have a complaint??? If we had a linebacker last year who had half his talent we could have won several more games. It is almost inconceivable how biased and negative you and some others are. In the end that kind of ridiculous criticism just undercuts your credibility completely. Honestly it is the same thing over and over. A guy like Mayock rates him the sixth best player in the draft and by far the best linebacker and people like you criticize him relentlessly. Feel free to keep it up but if you think you are winning anything it is in your mind. You are so far out in left field as to be irrelevant.

mayock's rankings aren't the be-all-end-all of big boards. no one's is. every team's big board is different

So when they agree with your opinion they are great but when they don't we should criticize them. I still think i will take his word over yours. Don't take it personally though......

incidentally if you took mayock's input over mine last year we wouldn't have drafted cam newton and QB would still be a dumpster fire

Even he screws up sometimes but it doesn't mean he screws up all the time or that because he misses on some players that we should disregard him. I was the one right about Newton and I am right about Kuechly. Only this time he agrees with me. Now I have consensus....

That was sarcasm in case you have lost perspective........

i was right, as always

That's all I needed to read to realize we're dealing with a fuging idiot.

We're all wrong from time to time.

I loved the Jimmy Clausen and Dwayne Jarrett picks. I hated the Jon Beason pick at the time - I wanted his teammate Greg Olsen. Funny how things work out sometimes.

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.

If we pass on a DT in the 1st and Still is available in the 2nd I would LOVE to have him. I think he's better than Cox overall, he just has those injury concerns.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

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

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
