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

The odds of finding a productive LB in rounds 2-UDFA pretty good the odds of finding a QB there pretty bad.

See is that hard to grasp?

I'm not arguing that at all. The OP was about how could Curry be worth the 3rd pick, and I'm wracking my brain trying to think of how, especially since he's showing up in some real mocks. I think that a QB is absolutely more important than an LB, and I know that obviously the players that are drafted earlier have a lot more talent than later picks and UDFAs.

The reason that this thread is being hijacked is that a lot of people are just tired of hearing that the only way we're going to be relevant again is if we draft a QB. Frankly, if Pioli isn't sold that Sanchez is a sure thing, I don't believe he will draft him with our first pick.
