Is Curry's side slightly lower?

Nope, just a slight optical illusion.

Hopefully the Lions, Rams and Chiefs all get the memo that the first three picks of the draft should be Hall of Famers... I'd hate for them to pick mere Pro Bowlers instead, that would be really embarrassing.

For the highest paid rookie ILB in the NFL? You bet your ass. He BETTER be that good.

LOL, the debate on this topic has sure skewed reality for you. A QB, DE, LT, WR or CB taken in the top 3 can have lots of question marks and be selected on potential, yet a LB has to be a sure-fire HALL OF FAMER straight out of college to be selected that high?! That's laughable, especially when the guy you like at #3 would have been a very late 1st rounder AT BEST in last year's draft.

You know, I'm not as set on Aaron Curry as it probably sounds, but I just think it's ridiculous how he is getting trashed as a legit option at #3 overall. The Chiefs may not select him there, as we have TONS of needs, but the guy is good enough to draft at #3 with this year's crop of talent.

I have NEVER advocated taking ANY of those positions EXCEPT the QB with the third or a top 5 overall. Because to do so, would make me a complete idiot unworthy of the game of football.
