I thought you guys have been saying for weeks that there is no such thing as a safe draft pick.

Yea just like Matt Ryan didn't mean shit to the Falcons either right?

You know that argument would be awesome if it had merit I just made the point that even if Curry is good it will mean nothing so you point out some busts and go look they mean nothing not in factoring in what happens when the QB's are good..

Ponder that point you just made then get back to me if your brain doesn't explode.

I think it will be Sanchez at 3, but I will laugh at some of you if it isn't.

That really goes back to my assessment of their maturity.

Yeah, that's interesting. I hadn't really thought of it in terms of maturity. I was thinking poise, to be honest, but that certainly falls under the category of maturity.

Just wasn't thinking of it from that angle.

Why?

Ernie Sims went 10th, Ernie Sims has sick speed more than Curry does, Sims was the #1 player in his recruiting year...Ernie Sims is more naturally gifted than Curry is...what difference is he making for the Lions?

What difference did Smith make for the 9ers?

There is always risk. Curry shows up on game day. He's a playmaker. He makes tackles. Is that a guarantee at the next level? no. We can get a CB in Free agency too.

"Safe."

Because he makes plays all over the field. I've watched enough video of Curry at this point to see that he is much more then a "coverage backer". The guy is great at shedding blocks and then making the play along with his coverage skills. I understand wanting a QB but you're undervaluing Curry to make your argument. Besides here on chiefs planet every body with a draft board has Curry in the top five. Here he's just another "coverage backer". And don't forget guys I want a franchise QB too.

I just don't see him being an average type of guy. Comments?


Possibly Derrick Anderson if he ends up being average. Looks great until he makes a throw that will either make you go "wow" or "WTF?!"

Well, of course we're going to play him. Eventually.

Think Palmer.

In relative terms.

Less risky=safe.

Do you guys seriously lack reading comprehension skills?

My entire point is even though Ernie Sims is good he means nothing to the Lions team being any good, do you get it?

Smith was a poor choice. He played in Urban Meyer's spread offense and was not prepared to play behind center in a pro-style offense.

As usual, bad example, Mel.

Derrick Anderson is actually like a Freeman model.

Looks great getting off the bus. Anderson is a little taller (1") and Freeman's heavier, 250 or so compared to Anderson's 230.
