There's a very real chance that it could happen. Especially if the draft ends up with the Rams taking Clausen & the Redskins taking Bradford. But at this point, it's all just speculation and as we get closer to the draft the picture will get clearer. But at the moment it is definitely a very real possibility

Here's how I hope it turns out mock wise:

1a: Eric Berry

1b: Mike Iupati

2: Ryan Matthews

4: Freddie Barnes

Just doing the top 4 players I want really lol.

You want to take a G with a late 1st-early 2nd grade at #14. Now if Iupati is there in the second, yeah I'm with you on taking him, but I would be extremely upset if they took him at 14 UNLESS he turns out to be Steve Hutchison good.

jballa838 · 01-11-2010, 11:15 PM

Ryan Matthews in round 2? I don't see the hype. I'd much rather have Best/Spiller at 14 and go OL in round two, but still there are better running backs than Ryan Matthews to spend a 2nd rounder on.

but I do love Freddie Barnes!

Honestly i think with all our picks we go bpa, if that means not getting the top ot im fine with that. this team is in a rebuilding mode and we need all the talent we can get.

I think you're probably right although i would target a handful of positions and then take BPA. For me i would wait a year on the QB (you know who) plus i dont think they would draft TE,G or C and probably wouldnt take a LB either.

If Iupati is there in the second it could be hard to pass on him though, and personally I think they do need some help on the interior of the line. You had Mike Gibson starting there at the end! But yeah, no TE or C. I wouldn't be opposed to taking a flier on one of those QB's in the middle rounds, because at the end of the day, they don't stop you from taking Locker, and who knows, they might just pan out.

Paraphrasing so I don't get in trouble here...

In Kiper's latest mailbag, when asked about Taylor Mays he said that he had conversations with some people who have a very solid idea of who Mays is as a player and after those conversations he said it wouldn't shock him to see Mays name called in round 2.

I'm just trying to connect the dots here, but who would have the kind of weight to make Kiper say he very well might be a second round pick? If I was guessing, I would say people involved with the USC program which makes me feel that it's not likely we take him at 14.

I think Mel's sources would be NFL GMs or scouts not college types.

As for Mays he goes in the first round soley on being a freak athlete and starting 4 years at SC. Let's see how he looks at the combine before we (or you) give up on him completely. By the way if you can guarantee he'll be there at #38 i'm all in.

One thing to remember that Mays is likely going to blow up the combine. However if he doesn't run a 4.4 he very easily could fall. I think as a player he is a second rounder, but as a athlete I doubt that there is anybody who can match his size speed combo, making him a first rounder. So outside of Clausen and Bradford, I don't think anyone needs a strong showing at the combine than Mays

No comments on my squad? :(

summond822 · 03-06-2010, 03:06 PM

Brandon Marshall is in Seattle today. Do you want him and at what price? If this goes down our entire draft is going to be impacted.

Personally, I don't want the Hawks to sign him straight up. It would be the stupidest possible thing to do. Forfeiting either one of our first round picks just does not seem smart for a WR with character issues. The other thing is if they do sign/trade for Marshall, I find it hard to believe that they'll take Spiller in the first. Whatever first rounder they still have is going to have to be spent on an OT at that point.

I would love to get Marshall for pick 14. He's one of the elite WRs in the NFL and even if he isn't the most intelligent person he gets it done on the field. The Ravens only put a 1st round tender on Jared Gaither and I would love to get him for the #14 as well. He's better than any of the LTs in this draft class.

ChefMike · 03-08-2010, 09:01 AM

Only issue here is you wouldn't be able to sign either player without losing your #6 not the 14th. You lose your pick and the 14th pick is Denver's pick originally.

How serious do you think you guys are about taking Gaither though?

TACKLE · 03-22-2010, 10:06 PM

In my mock right now, I have the Seahawks taking Eric Berry over Trent Williams at #6 with Okung and Bulaga off the board. For pick #14, Anthony Davis and CJ Spiller are both off the board. Who would you direction would the Seahawks go in that situation?

Charles Brown, Joe Haden, Derrick Morgan would be my top 3 if available.

I would guess Spiller, Bryant, or Morgan in that order.

Remember, Alex Gibbs isn't huge on franchise LTs. He had guys like Salaam, Lepsis, Shaffer, and Wayne Gandy on the Falcons and Broncos. He was not there when the Broncos drafted Clady or the Falcons drafted Baker.

Plus, they've been linked to Jared Veldheer, which may or may not indicate that they will address OT in the second round.

I am well aware of this. This is why I am hesitant to give the Seahawks a LT at #6.

I'd personally rather Williams over Berry otherwise they are going to be left holding the bag for a Tackle. At #14 i'll take Taylor Mays and then Gerhart at #60. I've been consistant with those picks (actually would rather Booyalaga) so no need to panic now.

jballa838 · 04-22-2010, 05:54 PM

gonna stick this thread. Go Hawks!

Cicero · 04-22-2010, 11:25 PM

With the way things went I couldn't have asked for a better first round. Awesome job Pete.

summond822 · 04-22-2010, 11:59 PM

I was actually pretty surprised. At 14 I was dreading getting Taylor Mays, then they drafted Thomas and I was ecstatic. Only later did I realize that we'd passed on Bryant, but Thomas is going to do great things on our defense.

And Okung made me very very happy :D

Babylon · 04-23-2010, 12:10 AM

I was predicting Mays all along so i guess that shows how much i know. Thomas was a nice pick but i dont see him as a run stopper more an extra corner out there. Will be interested in seeing who they target in the 2nd, should be a fair amount of big backs available.
