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

No, but Curry is consistently top 5 in most of the big boards I've seen so far.

If it's between a OT and Curry, I'm still taking Curry. We may be overpaying him, but I bet he'd have more of an immediate impact than an offensive linemen would(especially considering he'd probably play RT).
