Aaron Curry is a linebacker.

We are going to move to a 3-4.

Therefore, Aaron Curry can rush the passer.

It's really quite simple.

He went 5.
Sanders went 3.
Peterson went 7.
Ki-Jana Carter went 1.
Blair Thomas went 2.
Ronnie Brown went 2.
Cedric Benson went 4.
Cadillac Williams went 5.
Eric Dickerson went 2.
Walter Payton went 4.

Those are some of the uber high ones.

Don't you espouse picking the best available player? So what if Curry is the ranked the 3rd best player on the board do you abandon your position and trade down or draft someone else?

He's not the best player on my board because see positional value factors in...hell I might think Chris Wells is great he's still a RB which means I'm not taking him in the top 10.

No, but Curry is consistently top 5 in most of the big boards I've seen so far.

If it's between a OT and Curry, I'm still taking Curry. We may be overpaying him, but I bet he'd have more of an immediate impact than an offensive linemen would(especially considering he'd probably play RT).

That's a scenario of, so would you rather slice my dick off with a sword or a saw...taking either position at 3 would be awful.

To be a Top 5 LB, you better be a Singletary/Lewis clone in the middle, or a Derrick Thomas/Lawrence Taylor type disruptive force on the outside.

Curry hasn't shown that he excels at either - but that he's a well rounded, athletic guy.

That makes him a 8-15 guy, IMO. Top 5 is ridiculous, and Top 3 is career suicide for a GM.
Yup. This.

People think it's just about BPA. It's not, and has never been. When you pick high, it's about BPA when taking into account positional value.

QB>LT,RDE>DT,WR,CB>everything else.

Hypothetically what if he had DT type attributes? DT meaning Derrick Thomas

But they are the positions that seem most viable at this point and time. You think drafting Sanchez is much better?

That makes sense but what if the player is such a god damn stud and he doesn't fit neatly in that little box.

Another thing that struck me is there seems to be several LBs available this year, and not a ton of separation amongst some of the top ones...

Really, what's the difference between Curry and someone that would slip to our Rd 2 pick?
Not much.

I don't see enough of a difference between Curry and a guy like Cushing.

brandon 02-18-2009 09:22 PM
Wait... I just figured it out.

We're going to take a page out of the Vikings playbook and let our draft timer run out to get better contract leverage. I bet we settle on Curry at 7.

So only Sanders, Peterson, LT, DIckerson and Payton justified their draft status.

About half. Thats about the average of any draft position.

Yes I think that is much better.
