Curry and the top tackles (after Raji) all have the flexibility that Schwartz seen to covet.<BR/><BR/>Mind you they could take a LT or QB at #1, still target the penetrating DT at #20 and then take one of the many excellent LB's available in this draft with pick 33 ... only using the BPA approach in round 3.<BR/><BR/>LionFaninOTTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-2408986301915289032009-03-21T10:21:00.000-04:002009-03-21T10:21:00.000-04:00Dave,Love your blog.

I think that drafting Curry will give them flexibility. If he excels a MLB then leave him there and if not then move him to OLB after Peterson leaves.<BR/>Is it possible to list what the expected salaries and bonuses of the top ten picks will be? I keep reading arguments that state Cury should not be paid #1 money but how much less is the #3, #4 or #5 picks where he is projected to go?<BR/>LionfaninPAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-24312910501544919172009-03-20T13:10:00.000-04:002009-03-20T13:10:00.000-04:00schwartz has said repeatedly that they're not goin...schwartz has said repeatedly that they're not going into the draft to draft positionally. they're drafting for the best player available at that pick, which i think is the best way to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-17102787988914486702009-03-20T12:57:00.000-04:002009-03-20T12:57:00.000-04:00good stuff...But I am a little perplexed at your s...good stuff...<BR/><BR/>But I am a little perplexed at your safeties comment. With Bullocks, Alexander and now Henry (if need be) we have safeties on the roster. <BR/><BR/>I will say that Curry is the pick...but why can't Raji be the pick as well?? I mean this is a DT that fills a need is a trench player...why is he not being discussed as much?? Kind of tired of this notion that this player can't be selected in this spot or that spot or is a reach ...DT is a need. Raji fills that need. Period. No reason he shouldn't be in the discussion for the first pick....Jarretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650770961188547047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-37894705154314126892009-03-20T11:30:00.000-04:002009-03-20T11:30:00.000-04:00more good stuff, dave. glad to hear that there's ...more good stuff, dave. <BR/><BR/>glad to hear that there's gonna be some 3-4 formations within the base defense. <BR/><BR/>i think we need to go for the 'safe' pick at #1 and that's curry. smith or monroe are the other 2 options, but not stafford, unless he falls out of the top 10. <BR/><BR/>we just can't afford to miss on that #1 pick and curry is def as close to a guaranteed hit as we can get at this point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
