Oakland Raiders agree to trade for Aaron Curry of Seattle Seahawks - ESPN

He was supposed to be a can't miss star. Oakland is putting together some talent. Got him for a 7th and a 5th.

Yeah, I saw that yesterday. People were talking about him as a possible 1st overall pick, and the one guy that was a sure thing...oops.

Who knows what caused him to suck. Could be the countless coaches there the last few years.

Who knows. When he was drafted I wanted him so bad. I wonder if it was the coaching or him. The guy was a monster in college.

More evidence on why 'grading' drafts the day that the draft concludes is ridiculous....

04/28/2009 - BEST PICK: Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry. He was perhaps the best player in the draft, and Seattle got good value for him with the No. 4 overall pick. And Curry is a guy who will come in and contribute right away for Seattle, playing strong-side outside linebacker in Seattle's 4-3 scheme.
