Just my opinion but if you draft a QB in the Top 5 you are basically wanting them to be the starter on opening day or very, very soon after.

When was the last time a team drafted a QB in the Top 5 and let them sit for a year? That would be an interesting bit of information.

Your comparison is better. Well done.

I do see a little Anderson in Stafford. Stafford did get screwed by his receivers running bad or incorrect routes and his line giving him Jordan Black time to throw the ball.

He has had to overcome adversity time and time again without changing his playing style. ALL of the great ones have this quality to pull the trigger however the game was going before.

I readily admit I have only watched 2-3 games of him and I was very very impressed with his Rose Bowl performance.

The main reason is his lack of experience at playing QB in games.

Huh?

Stafford is a ****ing great prospect. There should be an orgasm of epic proportions by all KC fans if the Chiefs select him at #3.

That said, I really, really like Sanchez.

Carson Palmer and Philip Rivers. Eli Manning and Jay Cutler started at mid-season.

So is Curry worth a the 3rd pick in the 2009 draft? I think he is. I'd rather have Stafford and I'll certainly embrace Sanchez but with the way this draft stacks up he's wirththe 3rd pick.

#3 overall is just too high for a cover linebacker who doesn't rush the passer, doesn't have elite speed and played in the ACC. I'm not saying he won't be a solid pro but at #3, you better get a superstar, not just a lunch pail guy.

Elway ceiling. I hate comparing him to a Donk, but that is what I see Stafford being if he gets the right coaching and meets 100% of his potential.

Does this mean he's a bad player no it doesn't, but the type of LB he is does not make him worth a top 5 pick. Fathom this Ernie Sims was taken 10 as a traditional 4-3 OLB he's a very nice player...is he a difference maker up in Detroit, he's not. And it can be easily argued that he's more naturally gifted than Curry is..the OLB position in a 4-3 is not a game changing core position.

Not to mention you could sign the #1 LB on the market of FA for half of what you'd have to pay Curry to do the same thing.
