One of the biggest problems is that they consistently ****ing miss in rounds 2-3.

Please do not mention drafting Freeman ever again. Seriously. Let another team jump on that hand-grenade.

Nobody said linebacker isn't an important position. What people are saying is that in a coverage linebacker is not considered a top-10 selection in terms of draft value. And that's not even an opinion; it's a fact based on who's been drafted where over the last decade. Pass rushing linebackers do get drafted that high, to either play weak-side end on a 4-3 or pass-rushing OLB in a 3-4, although if they're undersized even they fall into the second half of the round.

For Curry to go this high, as a coverage linebacker, he'd pretty much have to be a once-in-a-generation kind of player, the exception to the rule.

This is very true. I can't honestly think of the last 2nd rounder we picked that panned out.

What's ironic is that I bet most of the people strongly against taking Sanchez at #3 would be ok with the idea of drafting Davis or Freeman in the 2nd round. As if it's somehow better to take a player that is more of a gamble in round 2.

This franchise isn't in the position it's in now because of only missing on round 1 picks. Rounds 2-3 are just as important, yet somehow this is overlooked.

Seriously, how could anyone have missed it.

We've discussed it over and over.

I don't want any ****ing part of Freeman.

But if a someone is ok with Davis in round 2, that person's probably a ****ing idiot, and the rationale is most likely QB fear early in the draft.

I have news. Round 2 is ****ing early, too. Not as expensive, but just as important.
