Kuechly is a MLB.  Would you take a Telvin Smith at his best in the top 10?  I think he can be every bit as good as Smith was in his prime and possibly better

I know Kuechly is a MLB, that's my point.
No I wouldn't take Telvin Smith top 10
Dude was constantly out of position and a liability in coverage. Made up for his errors with his speed. And kinda fell off once them pockets got heavy.
Getting 3 good years from a WLB is not worth a top 10 selection. We need a MLB not a WLB or a LB/S hybrid. MLB can be addressed outside of the top ten this year (or in FA)

I think there will be plenty of other picks available at 9 I can't possibly see Simmons being the BAP.
Brown, Kinlaw, Okudah, Thomas... one of those guys should be available.
If not I'd almost rather take Jeudy over Simmons there.

I'm not doubting the kids talent. Just doubting the impact and ability to use him correctly in our scheme, with our coaches. And the value of taking a WLB/S hybrid at 9 overall, passing on talented DL, OL, or DBs that we need much more.

I said would you take a Telvin at his best in the top 10.  Telvin wasnt constantly out of position in 17 and was one of the best LBs in the game, the reason he made All Pro.  I think Simmons can be every bit that and the potential to be even better.  Hes better in coverage and can blitz if need be.  He will also probably run a similar 40 that Telvin did
