I would replace Kuechly with an offensive linemen. Due to the importance of the positions.
If you replace the best middle linebacker in the league with your third stringer, you still have an acceptable player who probably is decent at one thing (2 down thumper, smaller coverage backer,etc), who you can hide with smart substitutions and game planning.
If you replace the best left tackle in the league with your third stringer, your entire offense is fucked.
Agree, I think that list is more about talent at your position though.. Kuechly with his ability to diagnose plays really is head and shoulders above the rest of his peers recently there.
