Readers Speak: It’s Aaron Curry or Trade Down
February 23, 2009 - Bob Gretz |

Thanks to all of you who responded over the weekend to our first fan poll on what the Chiefs should do with the third pick of the first round in the NFL Draft two months from now.

As we noted, it’s way too early with free agency not even begun yet, but we wanted to set the bar and see what folks were thinking before we go through 60 days of paralysis of analysis on the draft.

Right now, the feelings of a majority of folks is apparent: if the Chiefs keep the choice, they should select Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry (right). But if they can, just as many of you believe the Chiefs should trade down in the first round, picking up extra picks.

After sifting through nearly 100 responses, here are the totals:

Linebacker Aaron Curry: 27
Trade Down: 26
Quarterback Matt Stafford: 6.5
Offensive Tackle Eugene Monroe: 4
Wide receiver Michael Crabtree: 3.5
Quarterback Mark Sanchez: 3.5
Nose tackle B.J. Raji: 2.5
Any offensive lineman: 2
Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin: 1
Defensive end Brian Orapko: 1
Nose tackle: 1
We will revisit this subject a month from now. Until then, keep talking the draft, personnel, free agency and the Chiefs.

This is why Gretz should be gone with the Carl Peterson era, he's completely out of tune with what Chiefs fans want. Ever since Brodie Croyle went down in the first game, if not before that, our thoughts have been on QB or Oline, then when Pioli came on board we all started to realize that Trading became a legitimate and probable option. I just don't like Gretz.

How is Blob Gretz even relevant anymore?

Aaron Curry would be a much better pick at 3 than Malcolm Jenkins, who has been pimped on here

I pretty much agree with this. I'd like a QB, but if for some reason we can't/don't go that route, Curry is the best option. He may be a reach at 3, but this draft class sucks and pretty much anyone else would be a worse reach.

It will be real interesting to see who are pick is going to be. I still think it's Raji in the first.

If we go 3-4 that would almost have to be the pick. The idea of Raji and Dorsey side bt side in a 4-3 is interesting though.

I still think Raji is the guy and we move Dorsey to DE. I do like Curry, though, as well. I think he moves to MLB-no matter what the scheme, but I think he's actually perfect for the cover two-Herm's gotta be pissed.

Players worthy of a top 5 pick: Curry, Stafford, Sanchez, Monroe, J. Smith.
