Interestingly enough Curry doesn't specialize in what we need most from a SLB...the ability to effectively blitz the QB creating sacks, turnovers and general mayhem in the backfield. Watch Curry's highlights, yes he's very good but he rarely was sent after the QB. The irony is the LB prospect best suited to blitz, sack, create turnovers and mayhem is the same guy we'll need in a year or two for our monster in the middle: REY. Really no other LB in this draft is better at blitzing and creating turnovers etc.
Curry is very good, don't get me wrong. But he is your sure-tackler type. Very much like London IMO. You want plenty of these guys on the roster, but you also want the other type mixed in: fiery blasters who whiff here and there but blow shit up and create turnovers and mayhem and all that fun stuff. IMHO we don't have one of those guys on our defense right now. I'M NOT POO POOING OUR D THOUGH. Don't mistake me. I just don't see an explosive player who blows shit up and changes the game in an instant. I know lots of us expect Landry to be that guy. I really like him and even expect him to go to the Pro-Bowl this year as maybe the best safety in the NFC. But I think Landry's strength will be in his coverage, breaking up passes and actually getting a ton of INTs. Looking back at his LSU days this is basically what you see.
So no I don't see Curry as the answer necessarily to our defense. I'd trade up only if we don't have to cede anything in the future like draft picks. I don't know how far that is trading up(?) and sorry I just made this post about Rey...who is my fav and probably will be long time unless he goes to an NFC East rival
