He looks to have that kind of talent and is seen as the top defender in the draft. If the QB's are gone, we're set at LT and there isnt a DE you have to look at the other "elite" prospects. I'm sorry but the assertion that LB isnt an important position is wrong. If he looks to be that good you either reach for another position or you solidify one that is a need and happens to have a very good player available.
Harrison was an undrafted free agent from Kent State that was cut and on the practice squads of both the Steelers and the Ravens. He's not some "overnight" sensation. He's essentially the equivalent of Kurt Warner, a guys who spent years learning and paying his dues. He's 30 years old, BTW.

NEVER would he have gone in the first round out of college.

I'd take Jenkins over Curry.
