Like I Said... Draft Curry

Or, technically, I guess draft Michael Crabtree. But, Aaron Curry is still my pick.

So, like I've been saying for a number of weeks now... the Kansas City Chiefs need to select Linebacker, Aaron Curry out of Wake Forest with their first pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.

Why? Well, other than the fact that he's the highest rated defensive player in this years draft (and the second highest rated player overall), he fits into the Chiefs system from day one.

Again, why? Because he fits into pretty much any defensive scheme. He's a playmaker. He will start... again, probably from day one, for any team in the league. He's a natural Outside Linebacker, with enough speed to cover in pass defense and strong enough to fill against the run game.

And, Curry is basically a safe pick. Like I said, he'll start from day one. In the end, maybe he doesn't end up being the next Ray Lewis, but he should play, every game, for at least the next five or six years. In football, that's super solid and great for a rebuilding team.

Or, we could take the best player in this years draft, despite the fact it may not be the teams number one need, and possibly have the next Larry Fitzgerald (I still say Fitzy got screwed out of the Heisman his last year in school... 'nother story, though).
