Overview

Aaron is a 2004 graduate of E.E. Smith High School in Fayetteville, North Carolina where he was named the conference defensive player of the year his senior season, and also earned all-conference and all-region honors. He notched a total of 123 tackles during his senior year, and also saw some action as a tight end. Aaron was selected to the North Carolina-South Carolina Shrine Bowl as a tight end.

At Wake Forest, Curry redshirted in 2004. In 2005, he was named a freshman All-American and tallied 45 tackles and 7.5 TFLs. In 2006, he put up 83-8.5 and 3 sacks. In 2007, he was named 2nd-team all-ACC for an excellent season in which he totaled 99-14.5-3.

He also lit up the NFL Combine, running 4.56 at 254 pounds, doing 25 reps at 225, jumping a 37" vertical, a 10'4" broad jump and running an 11.65 long shuttle.

Strengths

Ideal measurables for the OLB position. Fast and furious. Attacks straight ahead. Strong at the point of attack. Gets into the backfield and makes a lot of TFLs on wide running plays. Closes nicely to the QB when blitzing. Productive and stout. Has gotten bigger, stronger and better every season. Will remind some of the Patriot's former Pro-Bowl OLB, Andre Tippett in his style of play. Holds the POA well, and is comfortable dropping in coverage. In short, he is the prototypical NFL outside linebacker.

Weaknesses

Can be deked. Guesses wrong in certain situations, and can leave an opening for the offense. Has improved in pass coverage, but that is still not his forte. Will not excel if asked to cover a move TE in space on a consistent basis.

Projection

Has steadily seen his stock rise since the beginning of his junior season. He is now widely-considered to be a very likely Top three pick in the first-round.

Is the best defensive player in the draft and could even be the best overall. Will probably go to the Cheifs, but the Rams might take him, Seattle might if he slips past the Cheifs, but he won't fall past the Browns at 5.

Rams might make a push for Curry. He would make a great SLB in Spagnuolo's system
