Re: How far does Aaron Curry have to fall before you would trade up for him?

As I said in another post yesterday, of our three primary needs (LB/DE/OT), LB is the one we are strongest at now and we have the "easy fix" of getting even stronger at the position by resigning Marcus Washington, who has softened his stance and is willing to come back for the vet minimum.

Drafting Curry would mean our starting RT would be either Jansen or Heyer and our starting LDE would be Wynn and Daniels. I don't know about you, but i'd be pretty satisfied with a LB corp consisting of Mcintosh/Thomas, Fletcher, and Blades/Washington. OT, DE, and even G/C are a greater priority at this point. This draft is incredibly deep at LB and, while Curry is a great talent, I think we'll be able to find a solid starter in the 3rd, or even 5th round.
Fair points, but I thought Heyer was on the verge of something special? Why not let him start at RT and watch him improve?
