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.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
