DRAFT 2010

[Fulchalin]

Updated:

6 - Eric Berry - S - Tennessee
14 - Trade down to a mid 20s pick + 3rd Rounder if someone is interested....take Jason Pierre Paul - DE - USF or Everson Griffen - DE - USC with that pick.
60 - Jared Veldheer - LT - Hillsdale or Vladamir Ducasse - LT - UMass
Acquired 3rd Round Pick - Montario Hardesty - RB - Tennessee
4th Round Mitch Petrus - OG - Arkansas and AJ Jefferson - CB - Fresno State

Reggie and Mike Williams reach full potential alongside Housh and Butler....Heater takes over for Hill....

...and so on...proceed to win Super Bowl...Pete Carroll figuratively urinates on all the "haters"....

...its an exact science.

...Bono and Edge from U2 singlehandedly heal every one of the worlds woes.

PS...I win almost a grand on my "Seattle to win NFL Championship in 2010" Vegas bet...

and all will be right in the world for that moment.

where and what was the bet?

[Spicyterroraki]

I put a bet on the Hawks to win it all early March at the Planet Hollywood sports book. Payout on a 20 dollar bet is somewhere in the $700's I believe, not sure , but its posted up on the fridge.

35 to 1 seems low very low I saw 50 to 1's at ceassers and palms myself before i left

Vladimir Ducasse was a mess at the Senior Bowl. I wouldn't be happy with that pick.

[Seahawk Advocate]

I'd be happy with Suh or McCoy DT's at #6 if they are still there.
They are once every so often freaks.
My best case scenario at #6; Suh, McCoy, Okung
I'd be drinking like a mofo if we land any of those 3 at #6.

Then who do you pick???

Well, say it was between McCoy and Okung. Shore up the defense to compliment Mebane, or go with a clear need over possibly having Gibbs do wonders with the #14 or a later round pick??

That's a tough call. We aren't absolutely barren at DT like we are along the left side of the line, so Okung would have to be a strong consideration. OTOH McCoy is the #1 or 2 rated player (depending on who's board you look on for rankings) his value at 6 in my mind would be too great to pass. Couple that w/the belief that Gibbs can work a later pick into a damn good LT and i think the pick would have to be McCoy in this scenario. Plus we have 14 and could maybe even trade back and land Charles Brown for example.

So Kirwan says Berry isn't in Polamalu's class, yet he has the most upside of the defensive backs?

The 2010 NFL Draft may not have a Troy Polamalu in the safety class or a Charles Woodson in the corner group, but there are some solid candidates. There should be between 20 to 25 players selected in the first three rounds. There hasn't been a true safety drafted in the first round in the past two drafts, but that is about to change this year with possibly three or even four safeties going on Thursday night.
As for the corners, there were five selected in the first round in 2008 and only two last year. In 2010, expect that number to fall somewhere in between, with three or four prospects hearing their names called in the first round probably after the top-10 selections have been taken off the board. . . .

Biggest boom-or-bust prospect

Taylor Mays from USC may have been a top-10 pick if he came out last year but since then has been under the microscope for his coverage skills. The 230-pound safety absolutely impressed everyone at the NFL Scouting Combine with unofficial times under 4.3 seconds in the 40-yard dash, but he had one interception last season, just three passes defensed, no forced fumbles and appeared to struggle in space. Some think he's the next Roy Williams, while others think he will be an intimidating force on an NFL defense. He may slip out of the first round, which would take some of the edge off the boom-or-bust label, but his measurables should get at least one team to take him in the first round and then the pressure is on to live up to the expectations. Other players in this category include Oklahoma State's Perrish Cox and Florida State's Myron Rolle.

Player with the most upside

Every team is looking for a player who can match up on that third wide receiver without forcing his team to use a sub defense. They also want the same guy to play the deep middle, blitz effectively, move into run support when there are two backs, and basically be the adjustor for every situation. This year, safety Eric Berry from Tennessee is that guy. He had 245 tackles and 14 interceptions in three years, while defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin used him all over the field. He has the football intelligence to handle all of the adjustments. Whatever team takes him gets an advantage over most offenses. Others in consideration are Earl Thomas from Texas and Boise State's Kyle Wilson.

Hell even Polamalu wasn't in Palamalu's class when he came out.

Another slam dunk like Curry

If that is a dig at Curry, and I may misread, do not blame his rookie year on him alone...blame Mora for taking good NCAA players and making them into terrible high school level players.
