NFL Draft If Curry is gone at the 3 spot...who do we take or what do we do? - Page 6

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?

If we're waiting till next year we'll draft Terrence Cody.

OK, but Suh might have been a first round pick this year.

And Cody wouldn't have been?

Next years defensive class is ridiculous.

another reason to attempt to trade out a bit.

I suspect the Cheifs will be a top 12 pick next year as well and will have more flexibility as it relates to defensive position (since we need a lot) and value.

IMO

I think the Chiefs at around 12 would be 'worst case' (depending on how you look at it

)

I don't understand the debate between the cover LB and the Blitzing LB. They're LBs... they're supposed to do BOTH! And shouldn't ANY LB drafted in the top 5 be able to do both?

I'd be sorely disappointed in drafting an LB that could only predominantly do one or the other. For this high of a pick, he should be able to drop back AND rush.

Ray Lewis has 33 sacks and 28 INTs... Great Balance, which is the type of guy we should go be looking for if we're going to draft an LB with the third pick.

Lewis is a 1 in a million freak of nature

therein lies the dilema.
Which is why they are seldom drafted in the top 5 (let alone the top 10).

Ware had good numbers as a defensive end. there were only a few coaches who thought he could make the transition to linebacker. The move has worked out for the Cowboys, but Ware had a rough time adjusting his first couple of years. Picking the success of a player is sometimes a crapshoot.

Mecca · 03-01-2009, 12:33 AM

It was obvious when Ware worked out he was more than just a DE he ran a 4.5

Want a tip here, BJ Raji or move down if they can is probably what you're looking at.

Rey Maualuga is a better pick and much better value than Aaron Curry is if you're a 3-4 team...

The only reason you think Rey is better is because of the douchebag college he attended.

Curry FTW

Mecca · 03-01-2009, 01:03 AM

He fits the middle of a 3-4 better than Curry does...Currys a better 4-3 fit though.

The odds are beyond slim, however.

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.
