As I pointed out on some other thread, Piolli/Belechick drafted Richard Seymour who had only 1.5 sacks as a senior (which is low, even for a DT, before someone chirps in). Sacks were never part of his package, but the Pats saw a football player there, and drafted him.

The annals of football history are littered with elite teams led by a cover backer.

Would you take Mike Singletary (19 sacks for his career)?

How about Ray Lewis (33.5 sacks... but over 13 seasons)?

Great example - guys not taken within the first 25 picks.

The Steelers have won two Super Bowls in the past four years without what people consider a "shutdown cornerback," and have based the focus of their defense on their linebacking corps.

You're a ****ing moron. Seriously. You're a ****ing MORON.

They didn't draft a LB in the top 5. They didn't draft a LB in the 10. They didn't draft a LB in the top 15. They let Joey Porter walk (who's pissed off by the way that he didn't stay in Pittsburgh). Harrison is undrafted, Farrior was an UFRA and Woodley was a late 2nd rounder. If ANYTHING, this says "Don't spend the number 3 overall pick on a linebacker".

JFC.

Oh, there's a few other reasons why they won the Super Bowl in 2005 and 2008: Ben Rothlisberger and Troy Palumalu.

Without EITHER of those guys, they'd be just another football team.

Just like Tom Brady and Kurt Warner and ... - let's not go there, okay?

The point isn't to find diamonds in the rough, it's who's the most likely diamond at #3. I just listed two LBs who were huge impact players even though they weren't pass-rushers.

If Curry projects out to potentially that kind of player on Piolli's board, why should he not take him?

Well Orange is a Bronco fan so of course he wants us to pick Curry he can then laugh at us for overdrafting a overhyped LB after his team did the samething with DJ Williams and hasn't gotten nearly the production for his selection spot.

Damn, you're good.

Strangely enough, I do. They've been my #2 team from back in AFL days.

But let's say you're right and I wish them ill...

Your scenario still doesn't make any sense. Wouldn't I prefer them to draft Sanchez - which I've said would be a mistake - then have him suck so I can laugh at you guys and say "I told you so" for the next three years?

As it is, if the Chiefs draft Curry, I have to hope he works out so I don't have egg on my face.

Ok let me ask you this question..

Why would you draft Curry 3 when that pick would mean you'd have to pay him more than you could get Dansby for in FA, hell if you take Curry 3 you might be able to get Dansby and Leroy Hill cheaper combined.

First, I'm not that high on Curry personally, but he IS the one guy everyone says is a can't miss prospect in this draft, so like I said above a couple pages, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Chiefs draft him.

Second, I don't think Dansby gets past the Broncos.

[edit] to save you having to dig back, I think the Chiefs will (and should*) take a DL.

*unless Stafford is there, but I don't see any way that happens.

Oh, I'm sorry. Weren't you the dumbass touting the Steelers lack of defensive backs, specifically cornerbacks as to a primary reason why a team has to value a cornerback in the top three? Because they have won a Super Bowl two of the past four years? And they have a good quarterback? And that they have drafted good linebackers? And that their cornerback position has been de-valued because of said good linebackers?

Dumbass.

Seriously.

Read what you wrote.

I know it's Valentines, and you are sitting at home, alone, but there is no reason for you to get all pissy about stupid shit you have already penned.
