Not necessarily. Curry was always thought of as an AJ Hawk type player. High floor, modest ceiling. On top of that last year he was playing out of position when Totupu went down. Okung right now just got a little unlucky with an ankle sprain, I doubt it will be a problem down the road. Keep in mind this is very early for all four players in what should be a very long career.
With that said we did get the better players at both Linebacker and Tackle. My only concern is weather or not Williams early success will go to his head, part of the reason he's so good right now is due to the fact that he had to work hard to help shore up a relatively uncertain draft status. Sometimes he was projected to go as late as the second round. Luckily Shanahan isn't the type of coach to let such things slide so he should be fine long term.
