Why is it so hard to understand that you get better value if you take a QB first then sign or draft a LB later on?

The odds of finding a productive LB in rounds 2-UDFA pretty good the odds of finding a QB there pretty bad.

See is that hard to grasp?

I don't think anyone is doing this.

No one advocating the drafting of a QB--I'm talking about the regular posters--discounts the value and importance of defense.

But we have to be realistic. This draft, what do we have the best chance of improving/solidifying with the #3 overall pick?

There isn't an elite defensive player worthy of the pick, yet there are two quarterbacks. We don't have one of these. Conveniently, it's the most important position on the field.

We don't need a LT, and there isn't a freakish WR on the board. Let's not even discuss RB.

I don't think it's a difficult decision at all.

Carl should've traded up for Elway. Idiot.

Try reading comprehension... I said I want a QB and a CHANCE to win a superbowl...

I never said that it was a slam dunk like you said it was....

:banghead:

Actually I've yet to see anyone make a well reasoned logical argument for Curry, other than "our LB's suck" really well our team sucks so how's that fly?

I agree and I want a QB though IMVHO I think Stafford is the only franchise type QB in this draft. I know people will disagree with that but that is cool.

It is just this either or shit that is bothersome.

My trust is in Pioli.

Everytime you guys argue why we should draft Sanchez you always go back to saying "Thigpen sucks and cant play in a pro style" how is this any different?

If Aaron Curry was a game changing defensive end this would be a great argument but...he's not.

The most important things on the field are QB DE and LT the Chiefs have a LT there's no DE that should make the pick a no brainer right?

There have been a lot of posts that address Sanchez's strengths and explain why he's worthy of the selection.

Let me explain something Mark Sanchez as a good NFL starting QB is more valuable than Aaron Curry if he's a great strong side LB.

Not how who drafts? You? Draft Potential over productivity because of position? Hello Gholston! Thats worked out well!

Who cares when they were drafted?! A great player is a great player. Scouts missed them. You think teams wouldnt love to pick them higher if they coulod go back? Ray was a late first rounder. Merriman went top ten. Again just because Brady was a 6th rounder you dont wait late and pass up a guy if he's the best guy available.

Do you research before you post? There are plenty of threads talking about Sanchez's pros and cons...

Mecca is very honest about both...

I think that is a well reasoned post DeeNutz and hard to argue with. I disagree about Sanchez but I am really not excited about anyone else so I am kind of torn.

The two are mutually exclusive.

Thigpen is not an NFL QB at this point in time. He can't play effective behind center.

Aaron Curry isn't a linebacker in the mold of Derrick Thomas or Lawrence Taylor. He's not Ray Lewis or Mike Singletary. He's just a good, all-around linebacker. Not someone worthy of the 3rd overall pick.

There's always one that legitimately points out his strengths while the others hop on the bandwagon and talk about our present qb situation.
