NFL Draft Someone explain to me what makes Aaron Curry worth the 3rd pick? - Page 21

Mecca · 02-18-2009, 08:58 PM

Since I'm seeing people starting to lean that way I really want to know...he's not a rusher 9 1/2 sacks in 4 years...he has nearly as many INT's as he does sacks over the course of his college career...

Does this mean he's a bad player no it doesn't, but the type of LB he is does not make him worth a top 5 pick. Fathom this Ernie Sims was taken 10 as a traditional 4-3 OLB he's a very nice player...is he a difference maker up in Detroit, he's not. And it can be easily argued that he's more naturally gifted than Curry is..the OLB position in a 4-3 is not a game changing core position.

Not to mention you could sign the #1 LB on the market of FA for half of what you'd have to pay Curry to do the same thing.

Half the forum doesn't even understand the term positional value so lets realize who we are talking about.

I agree. In fact I think it would be against the odds if Pioli takes us to the big game.

That's just the skeptic in me, though. It is a lot harder to win it all then to just hire the hot GM from the hot franchise.

We have to realize that the game is always evolving. If your team is the next step in the evolutionary ladder, you are probably going to win the big one. If you are the copycat team, you are a step behind.

I believe 100% we are a copycat team. Please prove me wrong KC.

So, honestly, who WON'T you call Pioli a moron for taking? You have already said that about Crabtree, Curry, and OT. So, it really is Sanchez, Stafford, or Pioli's a moron, huh?

Top of the board in this draft isn't that impressive they only have a few legit options...

And he already got a strike for keeping that bag of douche Tim Krumrie.

Doesn't matter. There will be people that will be pissed at whoever we pick.

Also I am like you I don't put blind faith in people but this one time I am going to put my trust in Pioli because IMO he has earned it.

Agreed, it is nice to have some confidence in our GM. We are out of our element though, so people are going to act strange.

So, unless he drafts one of the two QBs, Scott Pioli is a moron?

Jenkins.

All that confidence could be gone in 3 months.

It's QB's and Jenkins and that's really it, none of those other players are justifiable.

So basically Pioli has a 50% of chance of being god or being a moron?

Maybe he's trying to say that with the weak crop this year, this is the perfect time to take a chance.
