First Cox Jumps To The 5Th Now Kuechly.


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Best birthday present ever!
    • People were discussing the new backup QB in comparison the the starter.  Neither has anything close to a cannon.  Video was posted of them throwing.  If people can’t be free to express their opinions without being put on a list of posters who have ruined this place we have a bad situation here. People trying to silence  criticism of the QB.    Maybe actually post about the other players instead of about the other posters. That is where it went off the rails.    
    • That's true and we're definitely going to hear more about it as summer progresses. But at the end of the day all of the progress we've made on the roster as a whole will only matter if our passing offense can emerge from the basement of the NFL. In 2023 it was 32 out of 32 in 2024 it was 30th out of 32 and last year it was 26th out of 32. And early in the season we relied heavily on a career year from Rico Dowdle who is no longer on the roster. This is only reinforced by the fact that we (depending on how one views it) effectively took playcalling out of Dave Canales hands and brought in another offensive mind. The elephant in the room isn't going anywhere no matter how much we may not like it.
