Wes Bunting from the National Football Post has published an interesting article breaking down the upcoming senior class of defensive tackles."On paper, the 2010 senior defensive tackle class looks to be the strongest position in next year’s draft. The reason: Three of the top defensive tackles in the nation last season opted to stay for their final year of eligibility and increase their draft stock rather than declare early."

The top three listed are Terrence Cody (Alabama), Ndamukong Suh (Nebraska) and Geno Atkins (Georgia). The 2010 DT group could get a further boost if highly talented prospects like Gerald McCoy (Oklahoma) decide to declare.
Walter Cherepinsky ranks the prospects here.
This year, three defensive tackles went off the board in round one: B.J. Raji (Green Bay #9), Peria Jerry (Atlanta #24) and Evander Hood (Pittsburgh #32). The Seahawks own two first round picks in 2010 having traded for Denver's 1st rounder.

Eventually, the Seahawks will need to stop trying to patch up offseason holes for one last try and begin to instead build a championship team from the inside out. Great D and O lines are built through the early rounds of the draft, it seems to me.

It would really be something if the pick that turned into Alphonso Smith (Den) ends up being a stud DT from next year's crop.
I like:
DT Gerald McCoy and DT Ndamukong Suh
I think Cody may be overrated and may be a 3-4 nose (he's fat).
lol. I just read Walter's list. I guess he likes those guys, too.
Due to Ruskell's preference for drafting seniors, it may work out very well for us that those three went back to school for their senior year. I think DT is a position they will be looking at with a lot of interest, and it happens to be a position with quality seniors.
