Beason will be in the middle.

Luke Kuechly, Inside Linebacker, Boston College

The Panthers needed to go defense, but the smarter pick would have been Stephon Gilmore (CB, South Carolina) or a defensive tackle. The fact that they drafted an inside linebacker has us shaking our heads in the B/R war room.

Kuechly is a good athlete, but the huge gap at defensive tackle won’t help this catch-and-tackle type linebacker who lacks the strength to take on blockers and make plays.

Never heard of him but his stats are solid. Hope he clogs up the middle.

It’s a gamble, because our d-line was atrocious last year, but our linebacker corps was depleted with injuries to Beason and Davis (who might well be done after tearing his ACL again). I guess something turned them off to Coples; there were rumblings about his motor but it sounded like the standard pre-draft grumblings.

It’s not an exciting pick, but it makes sense.
