Why would you take a QB over a LT for trade value when most people have Monroe having more value than Sanchez?

I will watch this be quickly ignored.

Which makes him less worthy, genious.

Because even if he becomes the best LT in the league, he's not worth as much as a top 10 QB.

They're doing the same thing alot of people are doing and ignoring the talent in this draft.

So you aren't talking about drafting the QB and trading him later in the draft??? you are talking about drafting him and letting him sit the bench and then trading him or Cassel???

What? This is what Schlereth said and I'll paraphrase " They list Curry as the "safe" pick, but to be a top 5 pick he needs to be dangerous and rushing the passer, if he isn't a pass rusher he's not worthy of a top 5 or even top 10 pick"

Sorry, but that's just how bad this draft sucks.

The only reason I'm even in this position is because people always want to limit the discussion to if we HAVE to pick at #3 and I'm firmly on record as wanting to trade down.

You can speak for anybody but me.

I'm not in ANY WAY ignoring Curry's talent. I'm just acknowledging the fact that NFL teams don't value that talent the same way alot of people here do.

I disagree. I think he would excel opposite of Vrabel, rushing only a limited amount of the time. First off, it would help Vrabel, who we know is more of a liability in coverage than Curry. He could also transition into the position instead of switching all at once. Learning from Vrabel would only help Curry. I think the position also fits Curry's strenths with his pass coverage ability and speed to make plays if the ball goes to the opposite side of the field. That also gives the Chiefs the potential upside of Curry transitioning to more of a rushing OLB.

And they don't for this reason right here...

The Seahawks had 3 pro bowl level LB's last year...they won 4 games, that's how valuable non rushing LB's are.

If you want to do that just draft Barwin he has more potential than Curry when pass rushing is concerned.

And he still wouldn't be worthy of the #3 overall pick.

Teams usually can't convert S to CBs because of speed issues and turning ability. What physical attributes does Curry lack that would prevent him from being an OLB in a 3-4?

Jared Allen lead the league in sacks in 2007 and the Chiefs won 4 games. Is that why they value DEs so much?

Both statements are silly.
