Not asking to trade up for him. Your thoughts on him.
thanks
Probably one of the highest Rated pure Linebackers to come out this decade.

I've watched him play a lot and in my mind, he is not as complete a player as AJ Hawk was coming out of college.
Better Athletically, Much Higher ceiling, what else you want on him?
Wicked good.
Wicked Pissah Scary Good.......
Good enough to trade up to #3 to get.... The cost be damned!
Last summer, when Rey Maualuga and James Laurinaitis were rated the #1 and #2 players overall (not just at LB, but of all college players) on many "professional" draft boards, I identified Curry as a player of extreme interest. He had been rated a 3rd round pick by the NFL draft advisory board in 2008, and was considered a likely 2nd round pick, but he seemed much more athletic, technically sound, and versatile than either Laurinaitis or Maualuga. I had hopes then that we would pick at #32 and that Curry would fly under the radar. Both hopes obviously changed quickly. By late September Curry was a probably 1st round pick, by early November he was a top 20 pick, and by December he was a top 10 pick.
I like Curry. There's little not to like. He has great size and speed, a great motor, good fundamentals, tremendous drive, and good instincts. He is solid against the run and the pass, and while not a pure pass rusher he can bring the heat.
With that in mind, having liked him when he was anonymous, I think he has gotten over-hyped. He may be the safest prospect in the draft, but his upside is less than some others. I'm not sure he a 3-4 OLB or what his best position would be in the Pats 3-4. And short of Lawrence Taylor, I'm not sure any LB is worth the #3 pick in the draft to this team.

i dunno but i can't wait to see him play. all of these guys, in fact. i think this is a big draft for the league this year. too bad a year after it, there may only be 8 games.

Not very good at all. Give me past draftees like Ray Lewis, Ernie Sims, and Demeco Ryans anyday.
Do you relaize none of those three could excel at ILB in a 3-4 defense?
