Again, you're saying that Curry will be a very good pass rusher because he did so on occasion in college is like saying that Noshawn Moreno will be an outstanding #1 WR because he caught passes well on occasion. Curry can rush the passer, but it is not considered one of his strengths. And he doesn't have NEARLY the experience as, say, Aaron Maybin or Everett Brown. And that's important because like I said, rushing the passer and shedding blocks in the trenches is far more important than playing more traditional OLB roles like pass coverage.
As for whether we run a 3-4 exclusively, unless you think the Chiefs will build a defense with personnel from 2 defenses, then you can believe that the Chiefs will run a hybrid D forever. They are only running a hybrid because they can't turn a 4-3 into a 3-4 overnight. It's hard enough to build one defense, let alone 2.

And again........ show me why you think Curry cant get into the backfield.
You keep pounding your fist against the post on the same arguement while ignoring the fact that Curry was able to make plays in the backfield in the capacity he was asked. And assume that he wont be able to get in the backfield if asked to do it in another capacity. Why?
The fact is, when asked to do it......he did it.
Now, let's say he cant do it for the sake of your arguement. Then I would still take him as an inside LB. Why? because he's the best player on the board and we need one.
