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

Poor CB's don't get noticed as much when you run the zone blitz right. Put a ton of pressure on the QB with confusing blitzes and have your CB's or LB's step in the throwing lanes.

3-4 will make poor CB's average and average CB's good. They only have to cover for a few seconds unlike our old Cover-2 which put a ton of pressure on the corners and cover LB's because we could never get pressure on the QB because we were sitting back letting the O dictate what happened.
