First Cox Jumps To The 5Th Now Kuechly.

Yesterday, it was reported that Cox may get drafted at number five and now McShay has Kuechly getting drafted at number five.

For all of the debate that the Kansas City Chiefs will have to choose between safe options like David DeCastro at guard or Luke Kuechly at linebacker in the upcoming 2012 NFL Draft on Thursday night, Todd McShay’s latest mock makes it a non-issue. That’s becauseMcShay has vaulted Kuechly higher than anyone else in his latest to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at No. 5, according to Evan Silva.

It’s an interesting jump that makes sense in many ways, considering the top linebacker has come off the board around that spot in years past. Rolando McClain fell to No. 8. A.J. Hawk and Aaron Curry were both top five picks as well. Kuechly grades as well as any of those guys, or even better, so the Bucs could jump on that for sure.

News Flash: Everything you hear the last couple days following up the draft is BS. Nobody has any evidence of any teams big board and which players a falling down their boards.

I would hate facing Kuechly and Tampa twice a year every year. Even if you don't want him for our team I wouldn't want him on a rival. In a Tampa 2 he would be hell. Given as much as we run our tightends over the middle and use the running backs on screens, he would be a lot worse than dealing with a corner who isn't on half of the plays. Anyone who would want them to pick him doesn't have a clue.

Actually a lot of them do, considering it's part of their job. Kiper, McShay, etc get paid to be NFL analysts. They have more of an idea what is going on then we do.

It's going to be smokescreens galore from here until tomorrow night at 8.PM.

Exactly.

Just like the report from Jacksonville that "everyone knows Miami is going to take Tannehill". They know nothing. They are throwing that poo against the wall trying to entice someone to try and trade up one spot in front of Miami.....which just happens to be Jacksonville's pick.

Minnesota is the key to how most of the first round plays out. If they do take Claiborne and then Cleveland takes Richardson, TB is left missing out on their two targets.

They are unlikely to take Blackmon as they just signed Jackson.

They are unlikely to take Cox as they recently drafted two DT's high.

They will not take a QB with Freeman on the roster.

They are pretty set at Tackle, so they could easily pass on Kalil.

I could actually see them taking Kuechly here....but who the hell knows.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
