The only thing I'd really question with Curry is he's about 6'2 or 6'3 and probably weighs 255lbs he's very muscular, he's not extremely fluid or quick to flip his hips because of how muscular he is, now I know he's a LB and not a corner but that could hurt him occasionally if he's going to play over the TE in coverage.

Mecca,
you are not applying yourself to my question about Angelo Crowell. I do not appreciate it. I understand times are hard, so if I throw some Casino cash at you, will you answer it then? I just want to know if he is washed up after this knee injury or if he is worth giving a cheap contract to and hoping he hasn't lost much. I know he had limited starts before, but I think he (was)/is better than D. Williams.

I completely disagree with you on this, and I'm not sure you can find any draft guys that would agree with you. Curry is very fluid and natural in the way he plays.

I don't want to keep going over this, but the guy is basically the prototype in what you look for in a LB. I bet he'll run in the 4.5s, so pair that with his size, strenght, and play in coverage and it's easy to see why everyone is talking about him right now.

EDIT:

It looks like you just pulled that from this:

I actually read a report that said he was a bit short...let me pull the one from DC so you can critique that.

Strengths:
Possesses a terrific blend of size and bulk...Exceptional speed, quickness and athleticism...Very physical and tough...Excellent strength and power...Extremely aggressive...Outstanding instincts and awareness...Offers a lot of versatility...Reliable tackler who will deliver the big hit...Really uses his hands well...Does a nice job of taking on and shedding blockers...Superb pass rusher and blitzer...Has sideline-to-sideline range...Will attack and fill against the run...Comfortable in space...Can match up and make plays in coverage...Has a lot of experience...Durable and never missed a game due to injury...Smart...Hard worker...Team leader...Super productive.

Weaknesses:
Can be too aggressive at times and will overpursue...Not quite as tall as you'd prefer...Pass rush repertoire is limited...Marginal change of direction skills...May have some trouble when it comes to recognition in coverage....Is not particularly fluid when he is forced to flip his hips.

Notes:
Won the Butkus Award, which honors the nation's top linebacker, as a senior...Brother Patrick Pinkney was a quarterback at East Carolina...Was a four-year starter in the ACC...In 2007 he took all four of his interceptions back for touchdowns, with an average return of 56.5 yards...Could play outside or inside in either a 4-3 or 3-4 defensive scheme...A marvelous all-around player who is effective in every aspect of the game...As good as any linebacker prospect to come along in recent memory...A legitimate Top 10 talent who should be one of the most highly rated players available for the 2009 NFL Draft.

The only one I've personally noticed is the flipping his hips but that comes from his muscularity I believe.

Caught.

I'd like to think that a new GM will have better luck at picking defense in the draft but at this point we should lean on free agency and our huge cap space to buy our way to respectability on defense.

I like this idea. As was discussed somewhere on CP, maybe in here, it is easier to build a good D faster than an O. This would let us draft for the future of our O while plugging in vets to help the young ones improve, then we can start drafting to fill the needs on D as the offense comes into its own.
