Someone explain to me what makes Aaron Curry worth the 3rd pick?

[OnTheWarpath15]

There have only been 4 LB's go Top 5 in the past 15 years, and none of them were, or in the case of Hawk, are worth their draft slot.

I'm not doubting Curry's talent, but it's not Top 5 talent we're talking about.

To be a Top 5 LB, you better be a Singletary/Lewis clone in the middle, or a Derrick Thomas/Lawrence Taylor type disruptive force on the outside.

Curry hasn't shown that he excels at either - but that he's a well rounded, athletic guy.

That makes him a 8-15 guy, IMO. Top 5 is ridiculous, and Top 3 is career suicide for a GM.
