nope. he was considered one of the elite prospects of that draft. it's funny, really, that chiefs fans have that bad of a memory. would you pick derrick johnson third overall? because EVERYTHING that has been said about curry was said of johnson before the 2005 draft. as prospects, they're very similar. how has that worked out for us?

so yeah--I don't give a shit HOW good a prospect the OLB (cover-backer) is... I'm not taking him top three.

Derrick Johnson obviously fell like a rock due to the evaluations made AFTER college - he fell so far that Thomas Davis A SAFETY was drafted before him as a project. What was funny is how Chiefs fans ignored this obvious fact and drank the koolaid without a second thought.
As for EVERYTHING that was said about Johnson being said about Curry, I don't think that's true. I never once heard DJ described as a smart player.
Besides, projecting DJ onto Curry is every bit as dumb as projecting Blackledge onto the QB of your choice.
