Why does everyone keep saying we don't need a Tackle at #3?

In fact, historically, the 2008 season was the highest in terms of yards per catch in NFL history. I think that we are in the middle of a transition in terms of how the game is played, coached, refereed, etc. Because of it's success on the college level, one is now seeing the influence of the spread type offense creeping into the NFL; the more stringent enforcement of pass interference rules (since the end of the 2003 season); a focus of more intricate offensive schemes involving multiple set offenses; an evolution of the tight end position from one of a primarily blocking responsibility to one of a multi-function receiving role; wildcat type formations, etc., I think that the "value" of a swiss-army knife linebacker would present a higher value than a cornerback in todays NFL. As such, and this is just my observation, a player with multiple skill sets at the linebacker position such as Curry would ultimately be viewed as having a greater value than a singular role type position such as corner back.
