1.03 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS AARON CURRY LB WAKE FOREST
If you are only going to have one pick in in the first two rounds, you mind as well get the guy who many feel is the best player available in this draft. With a little bit of a surprise happening and Stafford not being taken by the Lions, this pick was fairly easy. One of the OT would have been considered, but only for a moment. Let's not kid ourselves, KC needs an immediate impact player on defense and Curry is that guy. The Chiefs have upgraded their offense so far this offseason and have done so a little on defense as well. However, the signing of Vrabel and Thomas is not the long term solution and the Chiefs know that. Curry is considered by many to be the only true "can't miss" pick in this draft and KC is happy to get him with the 3rd pick. He is considered the best defensive player in this years draft and KC obviously needs help on the defensive side of the ball. Give me the best defensive player in the draft and I'll be happy. This pick was mde even easier due to the fact that the Chiefs do not have a second round pick.
There weren't really even any other considerations with this pick. As an oganization, KC and their fans should be very happy with the direction this team is heading. Adding Curry to the mix tops it off.
