It's reasonable to think that if a QB is taken #1 this year that the kid will make more than almost all vet QB's.

So yes, the argument why are you going to make Curry the highest paid LB in the NFL applies to other positions as well.

Just looking at guaranteed money is idiotic for QBs. They aren't running backs. Manning, Roethlisberger, McNabb all got over 100 million in their contracts. Ryan wasn't even close to that.

Great..the overall contracts still aren't comparable but be honest about it, LB is not a valuable position.

You never look at the entire contract. The end years are always voidable, have buyouts, impossible base salaries, etc.

Yea I'm sure the Colts are just going to cut Manning...

Sanchezites are slinging the BS on every topic these days. Top draft picks don't get paid more than good vets at their respective positions, USC doesn't have any talent on offense, Sanchez has no weaknesses, etc.

Why does everyone think "happy feet" is a bad thing. It's not. Peyton Manning is well known for the way his feet don't stay still. Footwork is an important part of throwing mechanics and guys like Manning and Sanchez are adjusting their feet as much as possible so that they'll be able to throw as soon as they see a passing lane to an open reciever. Sanchez's "happy feet" are part of the reason he has such a quick release. Not a bad thing.

How many high drafted LB's do the Steelers have? Or the Ravens for that matter...

Who cares where they were drafted? You said LB isnt a valuable position. I think LB's are the most important position on their D's. Thats like saying Brady was taken in the 6th so... bla bla bla. Even if historically Good LB's have been found late that doesnt negate a talented player at a key position being there early. Merriman was a great prospect and he was drafted pretty high. Outside of QB and LT there arent a lot of typically highly drafted positions available. Curry is better than any of the DE's, WR, DT's available this year and our LB play is awefull. Like I said earlier with more in depth explaination of my point, I think Curry would be the next best option if both QB's are gone, and would make a positive impact on this 32nd ranked D.

Steelers and Ravens play a 3-4. What position on defense do the Titans, Giants, and Vikings, who play a 4-3 like us, (right now) value?
