Chiefs Michael Ash's Undeniable Draft Facts

"So, please, let’s stop all the Curry insanity. He’s a fine prospect. But if he was half the player some seem to think he is, with the weak state of the top 10, he’d be long gone by the time the Chiefs make their pick."

Well, 'long gone' is a little hard to believe since the Chiefs have only the third overall pick.

Second, the draft has three legit top five prospects at positions that would normally be selected top five. Stafford, Monroe and Smith. Given that the Lions need a franchise QB, and the Rams desperately need a LT, it says nothing about Curry if he is still there.

On top of that, the Rams and Lions have both at least met with Curry, and depending on the day of the week, have been 'high' on him at different points.

For a LB to be considered by these teams when there are top prospects at value positions, at positions they NEED...... says that the linebacker is viewed as a special prospect.

By the way, DJ had holes in his game when he came out. He was a coverage linebacker that over ran plays, didn't take on blockers and was only an 'okay' tackler.

Curry didn't get asked to rush the passer much. That is the only flaw than anyone can find in his game. He breaks runners down, he takes on blockers, he is a smart player that sees the field well.

I keep looking for the guy that makes more sense at this spot that fills a need... and I just don't see one. I wish I did. I DO think you can get LB's later in the draft. I do think you can get RT's later in the draft.

But, the two best prospects available will 'probably' be Curry and Monroe. At some point, we just have to realize that things aren't always ideal.
