This draft isn't loaded with talent at the top.

If the Chiefs feel that Sanchez isn't all that, or if both go 1-2, then they are going to have a huge decision to make.

I think falling into the trap of saying, "this position isn't worth the 3rd pick" is a lot like going against taking the best player available motto.

I want a stud player at 3. If it's a linebacker, then so be it.

Alot of folks around here won't agree with that but I do. I'd love a franchise QB but if it don't work out a player like Curry would still be good.

That's directly from Mike Mayock

What's funny about this is that many people who make this argument against Curry also say that if Sanchez or Stafford isn't the pick, they would want it to be Malcolm Jenkins.

Look back at the draft and tell me how many CB's were taken in the top 3.

Do you have a link, because that's not what he's been saying on NFLN.

Understand what you are saying.

But thats not how teams view it. Its all about value because of $$$$$

A LB who doesnt rush the QB, doesnt hold as high a value as a LT, QB, stud DE, etc....

My guess is, the Chiefs draft an OT if both QB's are gone.

And before you label me the latest nickname of the day, I still hope we draft Stafford or Sanchez. But that doesn't mean I can't recognize that Curry is a special player.
Same reason people down play drafting a QB.. No one knows Eazy...

Link? Hamas said earlier today that Mayock said on air that he could play anywhere - inside or outside in a 4-3 or 3-4. Scott Wright says the exact same thing.

That is exactly what Mayock said during the whole combine

Yes, he has. He's been saying that Curry could play all of the LB positions in the 4-3, but will be centralized as ILB in the 3-4.

Yeah that's what I thought. I'm a member of other football boards and they have said the same.

But then that OT becomes a RT and that falls into the same theory that you don't pay a linebacker that much at 3.

No, he absolutely has not said that. He said numerous times that he could play any position in any scheme.
