I even like him more after watching this. Great speed.

If Orakpo develops and doesn't bust he has a bigger impact by default because of position, same with Maybin, same with Brown. Or wait, are you trying to get at that its impossible to be great unless your ranked high by Mel Kiper?

htismaqe, how did you get swayed to picking a QB. I thought you wanted to hold your nose and pick Curry?

I'm not 100% sold on any course of action if we are unable to trade down. Today, I feel like taking a QB. Tomorrow, it will probably be different.

This draft just sucks.

Hell Rey Maualuga is going to have more of an impact in games, hes just not nearly as consistent as Curry.

Curry's position isn't worth a #3 pick but hes OK to reach for?

i thought about this last night. this year there might be NO ONE worth the three to us. so why not draft a guy who will help us the MOST? by the time he's ready for a 2nd contract we will know exactly what he is therefore we wont have to overpay to resign. and god knows we have plenty of money to spend right now(and i'm not sold on curry either, but brown????)

So you want a QB then?

i want whatever will help this team the most, if its a qb so be it. at least qb's hold their value. i just dont know if a qb picked at 3 will be worth as much if cassel blows up

how was that an average class??? please tell me with the expectations at the time, not with production after the fact.

4 elite-level prospects in that class, by my recollection: C. Johnson, Thomas, Landry, Peterson.

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!

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.

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.

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