If Curry is gone at the 3 spot...who do we take or what do we do?

Agree on the position, just don't want Curry's performance at the combine to get downgraded. What he did at that size is amazing and is comparable to what Ware did when he came out. The big difference, obviously, is that Ware was a DE in college and Curry was not.

I've done some research, and I'm not aware of any successful 3-4 OLBs that actually played LB in college instead of DE. So unless Pioli thinks Curry is just a freak, I think we'll probably pass because I can't see him using such a premium pick on an ILB.

Ok we're on the same page, I just want people to realize I'm not saying Curry sucks, he'll in all likely hood be a good player, LB is a pretty safe position.

I just don't think he's a good pick for us in this current situation.

I'm always scared of the combine warrior that shoots up the draft board.

I don't want Curry, but he isn't a combine warrior that is shooting up the board because of his combine performance.
