Draft Ideas



     

    Should the Seahawks draft a WR in this years draft? I think not. I think that our biggest weakness as a team is our defensive line. Sidney Rice, Golden Tate and Doug Baldwin all gained strong chemistry with Russell Wilson by the end of the year, and with that young crew things can only keep getting better (without injury). And Zach Miller proved to be a viable option in the passing game as well. This leads me back to the defensive line. Last year we only had one consistently good pass rusher in Chris Clemons and he tore his ACL and will most likely miss a good chunk of next year. That leaves a raw Bruce Irvin as our only pass rusher, and he's so small that a double team will shut him down. Although guys like Red Bryant, Alan Branch and Brandon Mebane are all complete beasts against the run, their pass rush is marginal at best. This leads me back to thinking we need more strength there. One of my optimal draft picks for the Seattle Seahawks is DT Bennie Logan out of LSU. Bennie logan stands at 6'3 300 ibs, so the perfect size for the 3 technique. Hes projected to go in the fourth, but from watching him play I think he would be a very strong 3rd round pick. The reason I go this deep is because there are guys like Sylvester Williams and Alec Ogletree who would in my opinion be great picks for the Hawks, there's no guarantee that they will even fall to us.
