He is def a reach. Reports are saying he could slip to the 20s now. Hard to see that happening, but at # 5 we have to get either Mo or Kalil. One of them will be there!

I have said this all along. Trade down and take Luke! We need picks. If T Rich or Kalil fall to us, someone will trade up.

The comparisons that I have read (again, I haven’t seen him play) are that he is very good in pass coverage, yet has difficulty shedding blocks, and gets a lot of his tackles 5-6 yards downfield. When I hear that, guess who pops in my head? It has nothing to do with his color. What a ridiculous statement, even if it is a joke. Very poor joke in my opinion. But I guess I’m a closet racist.

the only comparison between Ruud and Kuechly is that they are both white. People say Kuechly is Ruud 2.0, which is far from the truth. Must be colored people saying that. thats why others(white people) think its racist. I am just joking by the way. but serious at the same time haha

1) Schiano:”I want men that love football.” No one in this draft loves football like this kid.

For those of you idiots that think he is like, Barrett Ruud, you’re all closet racists and should be ashamed of yourselves.

How the heck does that make them racists?????? If that was an attempt at humor you failed.

If you were serious, you were ignorant.

Joe, you may prefer Mo Claiborne but I have to ask you.

How many great CBs play on great defenses? Nnamdi? Revis? Bailey? Revis has played on some pretty good defenses, but Nnamdi and Bailey’s defenses have always been terrible.

How often have Urlacher, Ray Lewis, and Pat Willis bee a part of anything other than fearsome quality defenses? ALWAYS… the middle linebacker is the key, he’s the QB of the defense, he affects the defense against the run and the pass (CBs only against the pass), he gets the D in the right play, he leads and inspires. Kuechly is that type of player. I don’t see how any trye Buc fan that wants to see this team excel would push for anybody other than Kuechly.

For those of you idiots that think he is like, Barrett Ruud, you’re all closet racists and should be ashamed of yourselves. Kuechly has the national freshman record for tackles in a season and the 3 year record for tackles, he’s great in coverage, he doesn’t miss tackles, and he is a fantastic athlete.

Some of you guys take Richardson’s Pro Day 40 time as proof that he is fast but the fact is that I charted all 15 RBs from the Combine that ran there and at their Pro Days and on average those players improved their times, shaving .094 off their times… so if Richardson HAD run at the Combine (judging from his 4.48 Pro Day time), he would have run 4.57 or 4.58. Kuechly DID run 4.58 at the Combine so you know this guy can really run. He also vertical jumped 38″ so you also know he’s explosive and he repped 225 for 27 so you know he’s got great weight room work ethic. Luke Kuechly is a can’t miss prospect at the most important position on defense. He should be the choice and there is no comparison to Barrett Ruud whatsoever.

I love Kuechly, he is my #1 player in this draft and the best MLB to come out since Patrick Willis. I would love for us to draft him but I would LIKE for us to move down to the 8-11 range to do it. Kuechly is a stud, player for player, I’d take Kuechly over Richardson every time.

RIchardson won’t fix the defense and this D is desperately in need of a QB. Kuechly is the next big thing at the Mike position.

There aren’t the same. Keuchly does better against blockers than Ruud did in college.
