This makes a lot more sense than the other mock draft from ESPN

 

[Fenom]

Detriot will still suck, but with a new QB and a leader on defense like Maualuga, they probably will win at least 4.

I agree with Bobflipaburger, this makes a LOT more sense. A WR isn't our strongest need, but if Crabtree is still available, why pass him up?

 

[bobflipaburger]

Also I notice WIlliam Moore isn't projected in the first round.. If he's around when we pick in the second round we should take him... Having Mora as a coach I'm sure he could mold this guy into a great player. He's got low 4.4 40 speed and will break you in half.

Positives:A big hitter who puts the fear of god into receivers who are coming across the middle. Is also a very solid tackler in run support. Has great range. Has decent hands, and closes on the ball well. Productive in college.

I can't see Dirty Sanchez going 3......He wouldn't have even been a first rounder if Bradford and Tebow would have came out...and now he goes to 3 ? If my team took that chance at 3 I'd shit my pants....more..then i already do.

 

[Idahawk]

And the cards getting McCoy at 31....yea thats not going to happen....kid won't fall that far and if the cards did get him....that would not be cool for us

 

[Hawk096]

Mel Kiper however is fairly right. Here's a link I've been saving for some time:

Seattle Seahawks
Darnell Dockett (DT)
Kevin Williams DT)

OUCH

 

[Hawk096]

Hahaha yeah I thought that was pretty interesting. I'll see if I can dig up an old blog I did about it on the old Huddle if I can i'll post it.

 

[Pottsie]

I laugh at Kiper putting Stafford as the 1sty overall & 1st QB taken in this year's draft. Stafford will be JUST LIKE David Greene in the pro's. Marc Richt, Georgia's HC, is not known as a QB-savvy coach. He's more on the defensive front, and skill positions other than Q on the O. I just don't think he'll be that good. I would take Chase Daniel over Stafford in a HEARTBEAT.

I really think we're going to draft Crabtree, if he's still available. Can't hurt!

 

[Idahawk]

I think Taylor Mays really screwed up...he stayed at USC then his QB bailed ....he not only would have been a first rounder but he would be the only safety in the first round..if you buy into Kipers list.

Its Crabtree or Jenkins or a trade down for one of those 3 RB's...no matter what at this point its gonna be exciting

 

[bobflipaburger]

Or that beast of a DT from boston college

I agree. Pete Carroll is an evil genius. Who the F stays in for another season when you are an early day one lock? Idiotic. He is only costing himself money and risking his career by staying. Sanchez on the other hand is a genius for coming out now what with Bradford and Tebo being just as dumb as Mays. Oh and to Pottsie who thinks that Chase Daniel will make it in the pros, too short. No if's and's or butt's just plain too short.

 

[Idahawk]

Kiper said that Crabtree is his # 1 overall player and John Clayton Agreed......could they hipe this guy right out of our fingers.....

 

[bobflipaburger]

Sounds like Ida is drinking the Crabtree kool-aid finally...

My koolaid is returning to USC and will play for the lions season after next.... :|

 

[SeahawkWag]

They are going to have him play at LB during the senior bowl this weekend because everyone is saying that 6' 228 is to heave for safety.

Also I notice WIlliam Moore isn't projected in the first round.. If he's around when we pick in the second round we should take him... Having Mora as a coach I'm sure he could mold this guy into a great player. He's got low 4.4 40 speed and will break you in half.
