There's also a decent chance Malcolm Jenkins will end up as a FS within a few years which would make him one too.

I agree, Aaron Curry was an exception.

So, I would expect the same people who campaigned against him because of positional value this year to be campaigning against drafting a safety that high next year.

I disagree about Jenkins though. I don't think he is an elite talent.

But what if you think the 2 safeties are more gifted than Curry as players, which I personally do?

If you put the 3 together Curry would be my last choice.

Sure whenever you have time. I know we will be in the Top 3 so you might put in your Top 10 just in case we get lucky and win a couple of extra games.

To verify either one would be fine with me, I think both Mays and Berry will have very long productive NFL careers where they get named to numerous all pro teams and all of that.

They're 1a and 1b. I don't see major pressing need with the other elite players that will be available.

Then that's your opinion. But I don't know how that opinion is any less dumb than anyone's opinion that thought we should take Curry this year. Those people were all called idiots who didn't understand positional value.

I guess anyone that wants us to draft a safety in the top 3 next year just doesn't understand positional value.

There was little debate about Curry the player this year. All the debate was about taking a non pass-rushing LB that high.

You think we're set at NT?

a top OL will emerge and we should draft him.

Mecca Kiper Jr. You gotta slick your long hair back. Submit a video to ESPN. You are golden.

I'm gonna do it right now off the top of my head...this has nothing to do with personal like or dislike just guys I think are going high based on how the NFL works.

Sam Bradford
Russell Okung
Taylor Mays
Eric Berry
Carlos Dunlap
Gerald McCoy
Ndamukong Suh
Trent Williams
Damian Williams
Arrellious Benn
Dez Bryant
Jermaine Gresham
Bryan Bulaga
Greg Hardy
Sergio Kindle
Terrence Cody

There's a good list of some top prospects...who would you take?

ForeverChiefs58 09-04-2009 11:30 PM

We will need a new QB to replace the one that will be killed behind our swiss cheese OL

There was little debate about Curry the player this year. All the debate was about taking a non pass-rushing LB that high.

It wasn't that he was a LB, it was that he's not a playmaker, a rush backer, which you allude to at the end. This was the entire point of the discussion, not an ancillary part.

Now, we'll have to see what Mays does this season, but it's impossible to argue that Berry is NOT a playmaker, so this is where a guy like Curry really shouldn't be in the same discussion.

It's hard to keep up with this, I guess it just depends on who you want us to draft that year.

Since there's not a QB you want next year, we should just throw positional value out the window and draft a safety?

Positional value is just a bullshit way to attack draft picks that people don't like. As with pretty much every generalization in life, there will always be exceptions. The fact that this year was weak at the top and people were still singing about positional value just exposed them as either not using their heads or pushing an agenda.

Russ Okung is going in the top 5 as a OT and several guys I listed in my list are OT's so they will be there.
