NFL Draft Someone explain to me what makes Aaron Curry worth the 3rd pick? - Page 38

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.

If Curry slips by us..he's gone at #5....if Sanchez slips by us....I'm certain he won't be taken in the top ten. Now ay in hell Pioli takes Sanchez...he'll take Freeman at the beginning of round two...and you can't say that wouldn't be ideal.

Josh Freeman goes no later than 22, so stop with that right now.

Oh my god any list that has Curry as the best player and has Maybin ahead of Brown and Orakpo that high loses all credibility, Maybin is a total project.

Their list sucks.....they think the best DE in the draft is a 225lb guy with no pass rush moves.

It says Maybin weighs 250 who did the list Stevie Wonder?

Mecca · 02-19-2009, 07:16 PM

Oh by the way...

3. Mark Sanchez, QB, USC
It came as a surprise to many (including Pete Carroll) when Mark Sanchez entered the draft after his junior year but at this point it looks like that was a smart decision. Even though he was only a starter for one season Sanchez is the most physically talented Trojan quarterback since Carson Palmer and there is no limit to how good he can be with more experience. Further adding to Sanchez's allure is the final impression he left scouts with, throwing for 413 yards and 4 touchdowns en route to winning MVP honors in the Rose Bowl. Sanchez will have a tough time overtaking Matthew Stafford as the top quarterback in this draft but he has a stranglehold on the #2 spot and could go as high as #3 overall to the Kansas City Chiefs. Worst-case it's hard to envision him falling out of the Top 10 overall and you could even see a number of teams trying to trade up for him.

CanadaKC · 02-19-2009, 07:17 PM

are Sanchez and/or Curry at the combine?

I'm waiting for you to provide ANY information from ANYONE - 18th rate, 1st rate, or anything in between, including YOU, YOURSELF - that didn't rave about Leinart. That shit about the "deep out" is just some bar-raising bulltripe you added after it was pointed out that Leinart "had the best deep ball" in the country.
