In a different role, yes. An impact in the same manner as a Brooks/Willis/Lewis type linebacker of recent NFL history. He is not a pure rush backer and shouldn't be used as such. It's a waste of his talents. To waste Curry as a simple ROLB would be ignorant at best.
If you people have such a hard on for a rush backer, make sure the Chiefs get George Selvie next year, as he's substantially better than any other ROLB prospect in this draft. Just don't piss away the opportunity to get the best player in the draft (especially at a severe position of need for the Chiefs) in order to draft some huge bust potential because you all have been curled in a fetal position in the corner of in your bedroom since DT died.
And don't even mention Sanchez. Seriously. Regardless of the fact that Cassel hasn't received a long term from the Chiefs, you know he is their guy. Add to that, McD was willing to crash an entire franchise to get the guy. He's also bigger and more athletic than Sanchez, and has proven that he can be a success in this league. He's understudied under one of the best quarterbacks to have ever played the game in Brady, knows the NFL, and throws some of the prettiest passes you'll ever see. And only has a single season of wear and tear. That's a hell of a lot more upside than Sanchez has at this point, particularly considering that Sanchez has happy feet in the pocket and has had minor injury issues already. So just stop with that "I want Sanchez" nonsense. Because that's what it is - nonsense.
And I'm sorry that Curry's internet, YouTube videos haven't provided you with enough "oohs" and "ahhs" for you to draft him with the Chiefs first pick in your mock world. I guess making the correct play time and time again, being in the right place at the right time, being fundamentally sound while being the most athletic linebacker in this draft just isn't good enough for you. I hear that there is some D-II ROLB who knock two helmets off opponents this year and it looks crazy sick on YouTube. Maybe he should be your guy.
