Fast 40, ridiculous athleticism. Great coverage linebacker.

I wouldn't shed a tear.

If both QB's are gone, I wouldn't either.

I know it's poor value and all that but there just isn't anyone else worth taking that high either, so it seems you just take the best at that point.

I'll be happy with Stafford, Sanchez or Curry.

PhilFree:arrow:

The general fan thinks that's the case for example I was talking football with some of my friends and I brought up Aaron Curry. The very next thing that they asked was "Is he like Derrick Thomas?"

Great coverage backer, but won't change games like LT or Derrick did.It's not a part of his skill set.

Every report on him says he can play inside or outside in a 4-3 or 3-4.

There's nothing about him that you can point to right now to say definitively that he can't change games by rushing the passer, but he just hasn't had the opportunity to do so because his college scheme rarely allowed him to blitz.

With his physical makeup and instincts, there's no reason to think he is incapable of doing so.

He's never been asked to do it, but I will bet he can get after the QB if he is asked to do it. He has almost the exact same size and speed as Demarcus Ware.

I don't think there's anything wrong with taking a Derrick Brooks with the 3rd pick overall. Not every LB has to be a pass rushing demon to warrant a high selection.

I'm honestly surprised that "Trade Down" wasn't higher.

ROFL

Wonder if we can trade LJ for multiple high draft picks, like JJ did with Herschel Walker?

Look back at the past 20 drafts and tell me how many non pass rushing LB'ers were taken in the top 3.

When's the last time we heard about a "can't miss" "sure-fire" stud pro bowl LB projected in the Top 5 leading up to the draft?

Oh yeah, Derrick Johnson.
