He's a guy that is at his best exploding into the backfield, not a guy who should be engaging a lot of blockers. Yes, he played a lot of 2-gap in college, but he also got away with bullrushing far weaker players into the backfield in college--he won't do that in the NFL. He is also known to have fairly weak knees which is a huge knock on a guy who would play a position where leverage is king.

Second point, Hali is not an OLB. Let's stop this illusion right now. A 3-4 DE/OLB must be a "tweener." He must have the athleticism to take his hands off the ground in drop into pass coverage on many of the downs. Hali does not have that. In fact, his 40 time was absolutely miserable in the combine. Hali is pegged as a rotational DE and that's that. Keep in mind that as an OLB in the 3-4, Hali would be just as responsible for moving around as a DE as he would moving around as a LB and he is just not athletic enough to do that. Hali is not a tweener. We learned quickly when he was forced to square off against athletic, sure-footed left tackles that Hali is not nearly as fast and explosive as we thought. He's not fast, and that's a huge knock on a guy who will be playing a position where he'll have to be agile and quick.

Tank might have potential as a nose, but he also is noted to have a low motor--that's not a good attribute for a player who is taking on one of the most physically demanding positions in the game.

Finally, Curry will be great no matter where he goes. But his talent would be wasted in a 3-4. The ILBs are not the strength of a 3-4. You typically have one guy in coverage and another guy who is a pure run-stuffer. A versatile, multi-dimensional ILB goes to waste. And he is way too small to be an OLB/DE--most of those guys are DEs who convert into OLBs.

Nice post, zilla. You just smacked some sense into this Chiefs fan with your updated draft chart.
