NFL Mock Draft 2012: January 27
This week’s mock includes the two teams eliminated from the playoffs last week (Baltimore and San Francisco)(haha San Francisco you assholes). I still think Chris Polk is a first rounder. He doesn’t have eye-popping measurables. He’s like Rashard Mendenhall but perhaps more athletic.
I mocked another defensive end to the Seahawks. I love Ryan Tannehill‘s game, but I don’t want to see them reach that far for a quarterback.
The new Ocho Cinco is a guy named Whitney. Just kidding. He can't wear that number in the NFL. Dummy.
1. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
No matter if the Colts use this pick or trade it, the top pick in this year’s… Continue reading | 8 Comments
NFL Mock Draft 2012: January 20
The top 28 picks are set as the playoffs chug along, and while we will start to analyze some Seahawks free agents soon, you can check out our quarterback candidates right here, right now.
The state of North Carolina has produced some pretty good defensive ends in recent years (Julius Peppers, Mario Williams)
1. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
No matter if the Colts use this pick or trade it, the top pick in this year’s draft will be Luck.
2. St. Louis Rams: Matt Kalil, OT, USC
Jason Smith and Alex Barron have been busts. The Rams need an upgrade at tackle.
3. Minnesota Vikings: Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford
The… Continue reading | 1 Comment
2012 Seahawks QB Candidates: Robert Griffin III
Robert Griffin III, Baylor
6-2, 220
2012 Age: 22 years old
RG3 was very good this year, but a couple of years from now we may be calling him a poor man's KP1. Go Huskies!
What we like:
Absolute world class athlete, will be best athlete on the field on most downs
Work ethic appears unmatched according to reports
Graduated college early, great student
Collegiate production was unmatched, as evidenced by Heisman win
Excellent completion percentage
Throws a very good deep ball
Will face coverages akin to those faced by Tim Tebow, but with better arm talent
What we
NFL Mock Draft 2012: January 13
Now that the first 24 picks are set, we will take another look at how the draft could play out. Notably, RG3 made his entering the draft official, and Ryan Tannehill (who I would have mocked to the Browns at No. 22) has a broken bone in his foot that may require surgery, that will definitely make him miss the Senior Bowl, and that may force him to miss the combine as well.
Also, check out our Seahawks QB Candidates series.
Hey, this guy may have a third round grade, but at least he can change the light bulbs in the locker room without a step ladder. And you should see him push start a car!
“Seattle Seahawks 2011 NFL Draft: Players To Keep An Eye On For the Future
With the Seahawks struggling of late, let’s take a break to look forward to the 2011 draft.
The Seahawks are a mess.
With Carroll’s penchant for roster switches who knows how the team will look like next spring. But, we can bet he’s got his eye on a few players for the 2011 draft. Continue reading
What to love or hate about the Seahawks day three selections and acquisitions
The Seahawks had a busy second-day, Pete Carroll drafted some players high-upside, and trade for two running backs that could add depth to the offense, but also will compete for starting jobs.
Carroll also took some risks on players, both of those runningbacks included, but this year’s draft was one where character played a huge role in players’ draft positions.
Here is who the Seahawks acquired today, and what you should love or hate about each of them.… Continue reading
LenDale White to Seahawks
I’m sure Casey or someone else will analyze this in much greater detail later in the day, but it looks like the Pete Carroll-USC monster has struck as Seattle gave Tennessee their 4th and 6th round picks of the draft for White.
I don’t know the relative value of 4th and 6th round picks, but it seems to me like that’s quite a lot to give up for a guy who averaged 3.7 yards per carry in his first four seasons and averaged only 3.5 last year. Color me skeptical.
Update:
Seattle picked up Defensive Tackle Kevin Vickerson in the trade as well. Vickerson’s played in 24 games for the Titans over a 3-year career, has 45 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and I literally know nothing else about… Continue reading
2010 NFL Draft: Live Coverage Day Two
2:55 The Rams have sure had enough time to shop this pick. I think I’m on board with the three-day draft now. It gives us a chance to regroup after crazy first rounds like the middle of last night’s.
2:58 My money is on O-line if the Rams kept this pick.
2:59 Three days ago, I bought a four pack of Red Bulls, four 12 oz. cans for $5.99–what a deal, I just did the math in my head. That’s way cheaper than buying them individually.
3:01 The Vikings were not looking to draft a quarterback in the first round, obviously, and Brad Childress likes more mobility from his QB, but Clausen may be too much to pass up on if he falls to them with the… Continue reading
Who could the Seahawks draft on day two?
Taylor Mays, S, USC
Mays was a top-10 prospect last year, and fell out of the first round this year. He’s a great athlete, maybe the best in the draft, and perhaps the best since Calvin Johnson came out of Georgia Tech. However, his poor instincts were exposed throughout the college season, and his poor technique was exposed during the offseason. However, after drafting Earl Thomas, the Seahawks may be reluctant to fill the other safety position. Mays may be able to play linebacker if the team gets rid of Leroy Hill though.
Ben Tate, RB, Auburn
When everyone and their mother had C.J. Spiller going to the Seahawks at No. 14, I said it was wrong. Obviously, Spiller with to the Bills at No. 9, and… Continue reading
Seahawks lone day two pick could tell the future
In the deepest draft class that I can remember, there are a ton of very good prospects left in the draft.
Unfortunately for the Seahawks, they have only one pick on day two, but they could be in position to draft a player who would be drafted in the first round in any other draft, or in the top 15 in some cases (Taylor Mays, Jimmy Clausen).
So with that in mind, the team will probably show their hand to some extent with regard to future drafts, in terms of their valuation of players.
For example, some teams take players at need positions. Others take the best player available. Some put stipulations on their high-round picks. For example, Tim Ruskell didn’t draft receivers in the first round… Continue reading
