As for the Seahawks I think its going to be Berry at 6 and at 14 they go Morgan or a playmaker and I think they get their lineman later in the draft. So I'll go Berry/Bryant in round one assuming they can't trade down.Austinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-75253239401549491482010-04-21T20:01:24.199-07:002010-04-21T20:01:24.199-07:00Rob,

He's the best all around 4-3 DE in this draft and will help a lot more than Berry could. A good Safety needs a good pass rush to do anything, adding a Safety(no matter how good) when the pass rush is dogshit, is pointless. And the way things are looking, Charles Brown or Anthony Davis should be there at #14 so the long overdue LT fire will be put out.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855452479802633284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-78643820517879675152010-04-21T18:33:29.083-07:002010-04-21T18:33:29.083-07:00Got to love this video.

Why do we need to draft 1 OL man in the 1st round. First of all I don't see us competing for a playoff spot next year. Obviously we will try but the talent is not there. So picking someone that needs time to develop is an option. Secondly, 1 OL man is not gonna turn this team around. Even with arguably the best OL man ever "Walter Jones" the Seahawks could not do much without his counterpart Steve Huchinson. You throw ANY LT in there and they will suffer until a LT and G can work together and dominate that side of the fieldKellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-31643442142953535292010-04-21T16:37:05.306-07:002010-04-21T16:37:05.306-07:00...Alex Gibbs has a history of building an offensi......Alex Gibbs has a history of building an offensive line with mid-round selections, but that will NOT be the case this year. Mid-round guys need at least a couple of years of development before they can start. The Seahawks must get a left tackle who can start from day one, and those can only be had in the first half of round one. All the top left tackles will be gone after Green Bay picks at #23, so the Seahawks really cannot trade down below the late teens. Even then, they risk that Brown and Bulaga will be gone, and Davis, though a real specimen, is only 20 and will not be ready to start. The Seahawks cannot let Bulaga and Brown get away, or the entire season is at risk. Better to select at #14 and be happy they got who they wanted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-6945378549992502122010-04-21T16:21:28.263-07:002010-04-21T16:21:28.263-07:00The pick I'm least comfortable with in this mo...The pick I'm least comfortable with in this mock?

Although, at #14 they could do so many different things. <br /><br />To be honest, if Joe Haden falls to #14 I'd take him. Even though we wouldn't get a LT and everyone in Seattle would seemingly be pissed, Haden was by far the best corner in college last year and really shut down the likes of Julio Jones, AJ Green, Marty Gilyard and Brandon LaFell. I think on pure talent and football ability he is a Top 5 prospect in this draft and would be a steal at #14.<br /><br />I'd take Berry at #6, Haden at #14, then trade #60 and a 4th to get back up to the top of the 2nd and get Best.<br /><br />I believe in Gibbs ability to get a decent line together and get a suitable LT for a year. There are other ways to get lineman with spending a high pick.Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03913847128525026596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-80623054145434348582010-04-21T15:07:44.796-07:002010-04-21T15:07:44.796-07:00An Eric Berry and Charles Brown combo is exactly w...An Eric Berry and Charles Brown combo is exactly what I want to see. Hopefully we can move down a bit to get Brown, but if not I'm cool with Brown at 14 and prefer him over Bulaga,Davis,Campbell.<br /><br />I see the Chiefs doing something similar to what they did last year and in that Rolando McClain/Dan Williams/Sergio Kindle makes a lot sense. Pioli is much bigger on fit than he is on value - he passed up the best prospects in last years draft in Aaron Curry because Curry didn't fit the 3-4. But he was willing to reach into the 20s to grab Tyson Jackson 3rd overall just because Jackson fit as a 3-4 DE.<br /><br />Berry doesn't help them build up that 3-4 front 7 the way McClain,D Williams or Kindle does, I think Pioli really wants to build that front 7. And if anyone reaches on Bulaga it'll be Pioli because of the Ferentz connection.<br /><br />Berry to the Hawks would be a dream to me. He's been my favorite prospect since he was a freshman CB.

With Morgan off the board anyway, they would only really be looking at JPP.<br /><br />I'm led to believe they were looking to rebuild their secondary so that is an option. I also think they'll do everything to trade down, including losing value, so it might be a moot point anyway.<br /><br />However - some teams are going to fall in love with Spiller. Some places have been speculating that despite having a lot invested in MJD, they'll still entertain the prospect of drafting Spiller and that they're really high on him. The might not even stay put at #10, like I said. If they do, they'll take whoever is top of their board and it might be Spiller.Rob Statonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481945325907207562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-10697751502112330402010-04-21T14:39:25.946-07:002010-04-21T14:39:25.946-07:00Rob,

As you say, #14 could be either Brown or Bulaga, and until yesterday I thought it would be Brown, but on taking a second look at Bulaga, I believe he has Alex Gibbs written all over him. His thyroid illness is a non-issue, it was only a virus. He has a little more of the nastiness and savvy that Gibbs likes, and is perfectly schooled in the zone scheme, and can start from day one, although Brown has many of the same attributes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-6679452760419093562010-04-21T14:22:28.185-07:002010-04-21T14:22:28.185-07:00I hope we get Berry!
