OK lets see it

Whos got some kick butt video of the greatest LB in NFL history Aaron Curry? What I've found is really pretty unimpressive. I can't see in film why he's ranked so highly. Anyone have some good video they can point me too?

[RustShack]

The only think people use as defense for Curry is his athleticism, even though Vernon Gholsten was more athletic, its impossible for a great athlete to bust!

Where did I say he WON'T have an impact?

I said his impact will not match that of Willis, who's an absolute BEAST, and was taken ELEVENTH in a class as devoid of talent at the top as this one is.

When you consider the impact he'll make and consider taking him at #3, it's not worth it, IMO. There isn't going to be a significant drop in impact at the MLB position between him and a guy like Maualuga or even Laurinaitiis - guys who can be had much later in the draft, and offer more value at those later draft slots.

EDIT- People also use piss poor highlight videos.

In a different role, yes. An impact in the same manner as a Brooks/Willis/Lewis type linebacker of recent NFL history. He is not a pure rush backer and shouldn't be used as such. It's a waste of his talents. To waste Curry as a simple ROLB would be ignorant at best.

If you people have such a hard on for a rush backer, make sure the Chiefs get George Selvie next year, as he's substantially better than any other ROLB prospect in this draft. Just don't piss away the opportunity to get the best player in the draft (especially at a severe position of need for the Chiefs) in order to draft some huge bust potential because you all have been curled in a fetal position in the corner of in your bedroom since DT died.

And don't even mention Sanchez. Seriously. Regardless of the fact that Cassel hasn't received a long term from the Chiefs, you know he is their guy. Add to that, McD was willing to crash an entire franchise to get the guy. He's also bigger and more athletic than Sanchez, and has proven that he can be a success in this league. He's understudied under one of the best quarterbacks to have ever played the game in Brady, knows the NFL, and throws some of the prettiest passes you'll ever see. And only has a single season of wear and tear. That's a hell of a lot more upside than Sanchez has at this point, particularly considering that Sanchez has happy feet in the pocket and has had minor injury issues already. So just stop with that "I want Sanchez" nonsense. Because that's what it is - nonsense.

And I'm sorry that Curry's internet, YouTube videos haven't provided you with enough "oohs" and "ahhs" for you to draft him with the Chiefs first pick in your mock world. I guess making the correct play time and time again, being in the right place at the right time, being fundamentally sound while being the most athletic linebacker in this draft just isn't good enough for you. I hear that there is some D-II ROLB who knock two helmets off opponents this year and it looks crazy sick on YouTube. Maybe he should be your guy.

Really, a total gamechanger in a 3-4 defense as an ILB ?Alright I'll hold him to that for the next 3 years anything else is a disappointment.

Are you extremely disappointed in Dorsey?

[RustShack]

Like Brooks/Willis/Lewis? thats a pretty wide variety. If he can be like that then hes a HOF guy we should take at three, the problem is he isn't that guy, he might be something like Brooks, a player I wouldn't draft #3 overall.

Those guys are nothing alike. Gholston is a pass rusher who couldn't even get on the field. He was a workout warrior leading up to the draft when he was picked and he's good example of why we don't want to reach for a pass rusher.

Dorsey is a DT which is worth a high draft pick, he was the best player in last year draft and fell to the #5 spot... there is a major difference between getting a steal and drafting a position high than you should.

No they are nothing a like because it hurts your cause for Curry. I know Vernon was a DE/OLB, I didn't say anything about position, I was talking about athleticism, but if we draft Curry this high he should be a DE/OLB which some here claim he can be. Oh and for the record those two are about the same size. I just think its funny some people believe Curry can learn to be a pass rusher even though thats a lot harder to lean but other players can't learn the easier job and drop into coverage.

Being a #5 pick you expect Dorsey to be at a HOF level in three years, correct?

Curry could learn to play QB as well, then we're covered in the event that Cassel goes tits up.

That would be nice, but he plays at a position thats worth a top pick... Curry is held to a different standard because its dumb as **** to draft an ILB #3.
