I don't disagree. But again, just saying it's not a slam dunk and it's reasonable for people to be hesitant.

And it's just as reasonable for people to be hesitant about taking a LB that doesn't rush the passer at the 3 slot.

Add to that what Scott Wright said this week, that Curry compares to DJ Williams, and you have another reason people would be hesitant.

DJ.

Williams.

Let that sink in.

EVERY pick has risks associated with it.

It stretches believability to try to argue that Stafford and Sanchez aren't first-round quality prospects, and this begs the obvious: If not now, when and how?

FA? We know the results this tends to bring.

Next years draft? For whom, Bradford? Ok, but he's probably going very, very early. Maybe even 1/1, and we'll likely not be *that* bad.

And I don't even want to talk seriously about a guy like McCoy. He's going to be about a 3rd rounder. Maybe he'll develop into a stud, but you're talking about a much riskier avenue.
