NFL Draft Aaron Curry...your opinion. - Page 2

I was looking at the nfldraftcountdown.com mock and as of the 15th it has us picking Curry up at #3. According to the description it says he is capable of playing inside or outside in either a 4-3 or 3-4. Just curious as to what the local Planet draft gurus think of this guy?

Why no premier FA's?

I personally don't think it's a good idea to take a LB that high for a team in this position. If you notice alot of the good teams in the league have mid round picks at that position while their high picks were used on the line and secondary.

But you would be fine with taking a safety, which would be highest a safety has been drafted in modern history.

Laron Landry was such a shitty pick.

Alot more good teams in the league have 1st round safeties than they do 1st round LB's.

The Eagles have NEVER used a 1st round pick on a LB since Reid took the job, how about the Giants they don't have any.

If you watch him play, it's easy to see that Curry is a beast. He is a prototype SAM backer that will blanket TEs in coverage, make tackles in the open field, and create havoc in the backfield on blitzes.

I don't think LB is one of our biggest needs, so if you're a guy that likes to draft based on needs then he probably doesn't appeal to you. But there's a reason every respected draft expert says Curry is the best LB prospect in years and has him at the top of their board right now.

You just tried to say that good teams don't draft LBs early

but you bring up Landry as a reason to draft a safety? Were the Redskins good this year?

The way you twist arguments is comical.

I stopped reading after the bolded part.

LB is a devalued position in the league unless you play 3-4, I figured you knew this.

And just throwing out one of the last safeties that went that high, how about Donte Whitner does he suck?

I should have said OLB, but LB in general shouldn't be a huge need for us when we're healthy with DJ, Demorrio, and Donnie Edwards.

Where would you rank it?

Mecca · 12-23-2008, 05:44 PM

About as bad as the Dline...

Does Urlacher suck? Does Patrick Willis suck? We can play this game all day.

You brought up the fact that good teams don't draft LBs early, then said Landry was a good pick even though the Redskins suck. Now you're bringing up Whitner when the Bills suck to. Your arguments don't make sense.

Mecca · 12-23-2008, 05:48 PM

Look my argument isn't that Curry sucks, that's the issue here. My argument is you can get a productive player at that position later in the draft.

High LB's are generally good because LB is like RB it's an easy position for a young guy to step into. But many many lower round LB's are good too, the Colts have made a living doing it.

I don't think it's worth a top 5 pick.
