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

So he's Derrick Johnson part 2.

That's probably valid other than I think he's more disciplined and aggressive, to the point of being over aggressive and over running plays.

Derrick Johnson is just a heavily passive player.

That sounds like DJ with a little Bernard Pollard thrown in.

Almost, but Curry actually fights off blocks instead of running around them.
