NFL Draft If Curry is gone at the 3 spot...who do we take or what do we do?

journeyscarab · 02-28-2009, 11:07 PM

Say the Lions draft Curry, Rams draft Smith....do we take Monroe/Orakpo/or drop a few spots to get someone else?

MGRS13 · 02-28-2009, 11:09 PM

They won't. NO. Yes.

I've never been an advocate of trading down, but I'd take a hit on chart value to get out of that spot, even if Curry IS still there.

The odds are beyond slim, however.

Under the above scenario, Stafford might be big enough bait for a team like SF. And to be honest, I wouldn't care if we had to wipe with cotton balls for a week after the exchange.

Recoup a second rounder. That's what I want. More would be gravy.

Either Oher or Raji if you can't trade down.

Oher isn't even a top 10 pick. Christ.

He's lucky if he's a top 20 pick at this point.

It sounds to me none of the anti-Curry people believe this kid can be coached

Yes you can just coach a guy to have pass rush ability, if it was that easy pass rushers wouldn't be one of the most valued things in the league now would they?

Remember last year? Everyone wanted him to come out early because he was going to be top 5. Boy, that sure was a kick in his errrrr, wallet.

Your a draftnik. You know thew chances of us being able to trade down are pretty slim. The only scenerio I see it happening is if Stafford or Sanchez is there and someother team is hot for them and want to trade up? But then they would work a cheaper deal with the #4 slot since they know we are not taking them.

No, we are stuck with the pick.

Ha. Glad I finally got people on board with this.

The trade chart is stupid. If you don't like what you have and you like guys that you can find a little later, then trade down and take what you can get (without getting yourself ripped off).

If the Chiefs only got a 2nd round pick or something similar to that to move down a few spots, that's fine with me. To hell with what the draft chart says.

The fact that you've got a gun to your head doesn't invalidate the draft chart.

So you'd rather reach for a pick or draft a player you don't want who is the BPA because a reeruned piece of paper that doesn't change from year to year tells you not to? If Raji isn't a top 5 graded nose tackle, the BPA are not what we need and the players on the top of our board would be reaches.

I can't believe you're honestly sticking to your guns on this. There is no value to the Chiefs sticking at #3. They are going to grossly overpay for whomever they pick and they are missing an opportunity to get an extra pick or two in a draft where they need to fill a LOT of gaps. But I guess a stupid piece of paper says that Curry is worth the same value as Matt Ryan and Glenn Dorsey so we must stick to that.

That's not what I'm saying at all. If you think the Chiefs are going to take a 3rd rounder and nothing else to move down to 10, you're ****ing reeruned.
