Kuechley. Burfict strikes me as an oaf. He’s a big, sluggish, out of shape, and seemingly stupid LB who won’t be able to handle the MIKE role. He doesn’t have the instincts to make the right decision or the football IQ to overcome his lack of instincts. He likes to hit people, but he doesn’t tackle. Compare his tackling style to Asante’s, they look exactly the same except Burfict has a little extra weight on him so he’s a tad more effective. But Kuechly by a mile.

I feel like Burfict would thrive in a 3-4 with a real MLB next to him, but with the problems this team has faced at LB, personality and lack of instincts is not what I want now, no matter how much potential he has. We have a horrible tackling team, Kuechly is a superior tackler than most.

Depends on what the Eagles do in free agency and what happens to Jackson. If we manage to resign Jackson to a long term deal then I would take Kuechly with the 15th pick but If we have to franchise Jackson and then trade him I would take the best WR or OL then take Burfict in the 2nd.

For some reason I think if the Eagles resign Jackson to a long term deal then the Eagles are going to take Kuechly in the first and Burfict in the 2nd if he is available

Its not even the character issues that bother me the most about Burfict, but report after report I’m reading makes me question Burfict’s smarts in general. One report reads he needed Brandon McGee to tell him where to line up and what his assignment was in a play (while they were in the huddle), his penalties come at time most detrimental to his team, word if he would have stayed he would have faced academic issues, instead of hyping up the team he seems to scream and get mad, word is he couldn’t ingest the full defensive playbook, etc. Just thing after thing.

The problem is, everyone wants a fierce LB because they say “That’s what we need”. I don’t believe that. I player can be fierce, but if they don’t play the game right then all that ferociousness goes to waste. We don’t need a fierce LB, we need a productive one. One who knows what his job is and what the job of the players around him is, one who knows how to read his keys and diagnose plays on the go, one who does what they are suppose to do and do it right, one who has command of the huddle by respect and not by just yelling at people, one who can be the leader of the defense, one who the guys can look at and trust that they know he is gonna do the right thing and make sure they do the right thing.

I trust Kuechly with that title.

He can’t tackle, he’s an idiot and he’s a locker room cancer. We don’t need a player like home on this defense.

Keuchly on the other hand is the perfect fit for te wide nine. He’s a tackling machine, with great instincts.
