Carolina Panthers Round 1 Draft Selection - Luke Kuechly

[d-run]

Carolina Panthers ‏ @Panthers

Luke Kuechly told reporters that he is most comfortable at inside linebacker.

[Kurb]

Suck it up, it was a great pick. We can pick up defensive ends and corners up and down the draft. The difference between Kuechly and the next guy is a much bigger drop off than it is at DE. DT, or corner. The draft isn't over.

Everyone has forgotten how bad our linebackers were last year.......

Im comin to break your knee caps.

This iS YOUR FAULT :P

[cpac]

we keep stacking talent at low impact easy to fill positions

maybe we should add a RB in the 2nd

blehhhhh

no pressure on the QB, secondary can't cover anyone but hey, our LBers are gonna be BEAST!!!

what... LBs are not Low impact... and we can still get some defensive backs!

[The Special One]

They had a live press conference like 15 minutes after the pick on Panthers.com.

Damn I missed it.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

compared to DLine yeah they are

pass rushers should be top priority

cornerbacks after that

those are the big impact guys. plus you can find an olb easy as hell in the middle rounds or a cheap FA

this is right in line with spending 2 first round picks on RBs. don't think he'll be a bust but it's just a stupid way to build a team.

Jesus.

[bigskypanthersguy]

This had damn well better mean we get a corner in the second.

Yeah you know that Rivera listens to me, LOL......

Linebacker was the weakest unit last year and Davis has started 9 games in two years. I want Davis to come back 100% but it does not hurt to have a guy who can play on day one.

[Hairless Cat]

This kid is an amazing pick for us and NO he will not be sitting on the bench period. He is one of the best coverage LB's to come out, one of the best tacklers I have seen come out period. We just got a probowler

except theres not going to be any more probowls

[pOpCoRnPoPpEr]

loL Jets Suck

[CardiacCats]

vinny curry in the 2nd?

[CarolinaCatBrigade]

I'm more hyped about this pick than anyone else we could have chosen. We got an incredible LB crew. With Beason and Davis coming off of ACL injuries (notably Davis' 3rd) we have sured up the LB position. Beason, Kuechly, Anderson will be the future, and our 3-4 packages will be nasty. With others coming off of injuries alone, and our youth gaining experience, our defense will already be that much better.

[Hairless Cat]

Please guys we just picked the best all round linebacker in this years draft

Welcome Mr Kuechly - now please get to work
