NFL Draft Someone explain to me what makes Aaron Curry worth the 3rd pick? - Page 29

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.

Atleast I know there are a few sane posters around who like some of the players I do.

Not when he runs a 4.35.

I dunno Thomas did that last year and everyone passed on him...

We'll see but I fully expect someone to take Harvin before him.

Will you fuckers quit talking about him.. at this rate he wont get past the top 10!

Seriously though, I would be shocked if he made to the 2nd round... I am not high on a WR with that pick, I think that our 2nd rounder is going to be our make or break pick of the draft and there are positions of slightly greater need... but he would be extremely hard to pass on.

I think our 2nd is going to have to be our pass rusher, and it may involve moving up, unless we do something completely unexpected with the #3.

yup I think so as well... sucks that there isn't anybody worth the pick (so far) at #3... but facts are facts.

I have watched Orakpo ALOT and I have never seen anything from him that comes close to justifying a top 5(or possibly even top 10) pick.

None of the ends are worth a top-5 pick, although if I went for one it would be Brown.

There's no sure-fire pick in this draft in my mind. I hope Stafford is there, but if he's not, and Sanchez is, I'd probably pull the trigger. I think it's an enormous risk, I think he needed another year in school, but I don't think there's a player good enough to warrant not taking the gamble.

If neither of them is there, then I have no idea what I'd do. Probably Jenkins.

I am less sold on Sanchez... but I may even take him over Jenkins only because I think we really have a solid foundation with our corners... and SO many other needs.

I really only want Sanchez if we can get Dick Curl to mentor him... (I keed I keed)

Honestly the best picks at #3 are gonna be OTs or possibly Wells or Moreno at RB could shoot up the chart... all bad picks for us.

**AustinChief** · 02-19-2009, 04:05 AM

oh, or Crabtree who is also a huge risk. I honestly "feel" he is gonna be great but I have ABSOLUTELY nothing to back that up... just gut feeling. His numbers(speed etc) and history(route running) don't really support that.
