WalterFootball 1/27 Mock Draft

[Number 18]

WalterFootball.com: 2010 NFL Mock Draft

Gotta say, I don't think I would be disappointed if this turned out like this.

I don't care who we take as long as the team improves. The more I think about it, we don't need to take a tackle in the 1st round or in the draft at all. The line improved a lot and has a lot of potential. If the GM and Carroll play their cards right they can fix the line in free agency and with the help of Gibbs.

Eh we need to take one offensive lineman with those first 2 picks.

[sigpro]

I like Eric Berry/Derrick Morgan as well. This would make our defense very strong for years to come and with the talk of Patrick Kerney retiring we are going to need another DE if we didn't need one anyway. WalterFootball.com scouting report(WalterFootball.com: 2010 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Derrick Morgan) compares him to Patrick Kerney, so we would replace Kerney with the same type of rusher and we all Know Eric Berry is the next Ed Reed.

I wouldn't care if they took the best available player with the 6th pick. We do need to fix the O-Line, but it's not as important as a lot of people make it, especially if Jones doesn't retire. We have 3 picks out of the first 40 so the new GM should be able to get someone with the other 2 and use the 6th for a dynamic player like Berry.

I'm not counting on Jones being there at all.

[bobflipaburger]

ESPN has us taking Morgan at 6.

If Jones doesn't come back then we definitely need to draft someone with the 6th who can replace him. If he does, we can wait until the 14th or the 2nd Round.

A DE at 6th makes sense because the Hawks couldn't get in the backfield much this past season, but if there's someone available at 14th or Eric Berry is there at 6th I'd rather them pass up on a DE at 6th.

I don't want them stretching for an o-lineman just because we need one. If there isn't one worth a 6 or 14, don't take one. We have enough holes that any position (except linebacker) taken in those spots will help.

[Seahawk Freak]

Drafting for need does not work! We need to take the best available player. I would love to see if there is a article somewhere that shows how O-linemen do that are drafted in the top ten. It seems like it takes 3 or 4 years for an O-Linemen to get it. By then they are a year from free agency and we only get one good year from them.

I say find a 27, 28 year old lineman that has proved what he can do, and get them in free agency.

Yeah, look at how Jake Long worked out for the dolphins or Joe Thomas with the Browns .

Ryan Clady with the Broncos too. I think OT is one of the easier positions to evaluate.

[bobflipaburger]

And D'brickishaw Ferguson with the Jets.

[Number 18]

With your attempted parallels to Long, Clady, and Ferguson, you are making an assumption that a tackle of that quality is available when we are picking. If there is not, don't pick one that should be taken x number of spots lower. You overpay for a lesser talent. Just doesn't make any sense.

[bobflipaburger]

There won't be at 6, but at 14 there will be worthy linemen.
