I am not saying going QB at three is wrong, I am however saying only allowing yourself to draft certain positions in the top three does is not how it works. AJ Hawk(non pass rushing LB)Cedric Benson, Caddy Williams and Sean Taylor in the top 5 goes against the grain of your only certain positions theory.

All I am saying if you do not have to draft position "x" in the top 3 or top 5. Let's just agree to disagree.

I would say that the examples you gave prove Mecca's point. If you were somehow able to know that Curry was going to be as good as or better than Ray Lewis, you would take him top three. That would make him the single best linebacker prospect in history. Anything less would be a reach.

AJ Hawk, Cedric Benson, Sean Taylor, and Cadillac Williams were drafted top 5. Taking Taylor out of the equation, if those teams could have a do over, do you think that any of them would even consider drafting any of those players again?
