Readers Speak: It’s Aaron Curry or Trade Down
February 23, 2009 - Bob Gretz |

Thanks to all of you who responded over the weekend to our first fan poll on what the Chiefs should do with the third pick of the first round in the NFL Draft two months from now.

As we noted, it’s way too early with free agency not even begun yet, but we wanted to set the bar and see what folks were thinking before we go through 60 days of paralysis of analysis on the draft.

Right now, the feelings of a majority of folks is apparent: if the Chiefs keep the choice, they should select Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry (right). But if they can, just as many of you believe the Chiefs should trade down in the first round, picking up extra picks.

After sifting through nearly 100 responses, here are the totals:

Linebacker Aaron Curry: 27
Trade Down: 26
Quarterback Matt Stafford: 6.5
Offensive Tackle Eugene Monroe: 4
Wide receiver Michael Crabtree: 3.5
Quarterback Mark Sanchez: 3.5
Nose tackle B.J. Raji: 2.5
Any offensive lineman: 2
Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin: 1
Defensive end Brian Orapko: 1
Nose tackle: 1
We will revisit this subject a month from now. Until then, keep talking the draft, personnel, free agency and the Chiefs.
