NFL Draft

[JMR]

First two are some what useful as role players, last two won't make the roster I bet.

Very rare exceptions that 3rd round picks don't make the roster. You invest a valuable pick like that in a prospect, and you're going to give it at least a couple years before pulling the plug unless there's off-field issues that force a decision.

 

[JMR]

Prosise seems like a good pick and a guy who will be able to come in and immediately have an impact on 3rd downs, as many have already pointed out. Was really hoping Henry would somehow still be there with our 2nd rounder but I can get behind this one.

Somewhat surprised we went TE in the 3rd, but it's clear the blocking aspect is what we were after there -- don't think it says anything at all about what the team feels about Graham's timetable.

I'm gonna miss the 4th round with a LL game - but since we traded our 4th I won't miss us pick. So hopefully I can be here for the 5th through 7th, but to be honest, we have a lot of errands, so I doubt I'll do much more than check in at the end and see who we got. Wish I could watch it though.

I don't like the Prosise pick. He's going to be coughing it up a lot.

Day 1 & 2 Draft Grades from NFL.com... The Prosise comparison to Matt Forte is interesting...

Define "a lot"

He had 5 fumbles his senior year on 156 carries. That's a lot. He's loose with the ball and NFL players are stronger, faster, and much better at stripping the ball.

Good thing we didn't hold that against Curt Warner...

Players i'd be interested in for the Hawks...

Offense:
QB: Kevin Hogan, Stanford
OG, Joe Dahl, WSU...
OT, Christian Westerman, ASU


Defense:
CB, Deiondre Hall, N. Iowa
OLB, Kentrell Brothers, Missouri
ILB, Schooby Wright III, Arizona

Scoobey Wright is going to be a steal for whoever grabs him. He's a Clay Matthews clone, nobody really wanted him in college, isn't great at any one thing but is a baller. Like Tatupu for Hawks fans but more physically gifted.

Hawks trade up to take, Quinton Richardson, DT Maryland... 6'4" / 291lb

Always need good D lineman.. haven't heard much about this guy, but obviously Pete and John were targeting him...

Don't know him, but like you said, Seahawks wanted him bad enough to trade next years 4th. Looking at his profile, seems like DT that can pass rush.

Hmmm first year playing at RB after being a WR, no chance of a few bumps in the road changing position, no learning curve required, , hmmm just maybe the defensive player made an exceptional play.

I love this draft so far

We have spent our cap money keeping the core group and this year in the draft we added some physicality to our team. 2 OL, 2 DTs, a blocking TE and a change of pace RB. No complaints

Our D line is looking solidified as of now... I"m liking it...

You're really comparing him to Curt Warner?A CFB Hall of fame player vs. a 1 year starter at the position? Keep reaching.

That wasn't his point at all.

We run a ball control offense. I'd rather see a known quantity vs. a guy who hasn't proven he can secure the ball with a 3rd rounder. And there's no guarantee that he's going to progress and learn the position.

This draft was a great opportunity for us to build our bench again... Lot's of depth and players that have opportunities to play a huge role on the team...
