Trading DOWN

[Screamin12th]

Yeah...if anyone of them turns out being a pro-bowl level guy this is going to feel bad man.

it feels bad to me all ready. I said it a couple years ago, what good is it to have a franchise QB if he is destroyed in his prime. You got to PROTECT these types of QB's because you don't get one very often.

 

[Warden]

so they picked a guy that takes not plays off but games off? They must believe they will get his "good play" not his "bad play" This pick was a risky one in my eyes. Hell i bet he is still on the board at the end of the 3rd round. I believe they had King and Cam on their board and got to cute. i would have been 100% more happy with them picking Lamp!

No, lots of rumors the last couple of weeks that McDowell was the Seahawks target. If the Seahawks wanted King or Cam, they would of picked them

 

[pittpnthrs]

When considering physical attributes, how do any of them compare to Jokel?

I'm not sure of their physical attributes, but I imagine they cant be any worse than a guy that is ranked near the bottom of his skill position and is often injured.

No they got cute trying to get more picks, rumors from where? Most Mocks had him (McDowell) going mid to LATE 2nd round and the others had him in the 3rd round based on the fact he only goes 100% about 30% of the time. I feel so jaded that i don't care who they pick now. lol

Pressure from the inside from a guy that had 1.5 sacks last season. lmao

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Don't like the pick. Missing out on to many needs right now.

Per the ESPN analysts: "McDowell was a vast underachiever at Michigan State". Great.

Nothing new, our draft picks always seem to get average grades, but I trust Pete and John when it comes to defensive talent...

I wouldn't worry, the draft is all about prospects and even the best looking ones bust ... He might end up being a stud....

Im gonna start praying for Russ to stay healthy this year because he's gonna need it. They're gonna continue converting basketball players and "work in progress" guys to play oline aren't they?

At some point you seriously have to start protecting your damn QB

 

[Screamin12th]

Ok so maybe i should state what i do not like about McDowell other than him taking most plays off lol. On his rush he has no vision and RB run right past him as he is trying to get to the QB. He does not track the ball well and seems to not know where it is 90% of the time as he is so focused on getting to the QB which BTW he SUCKS AT! ( 1.5 sacks last season ) Not a quick twitch guy and tries to overpower lineman. That wont work in the NFL. No real moves to shed blockers and at almost 6 foot 7 and under 300 pounds not much strength to anchor. No footwork, none lol. Poor balance leading to him being on the ground... A LOT! Gets pushed out of his gap to easily. Gets washed out of plays to often. all that to go with poor leadership skills and lack of desire. -.-

Yes he does have upside but not as a pass rusher from inside. He can get stronger and his size ( 6 foot 6+ ) can cause issues for QB's if he learns to get his hands up to smack down passes. all he does is leans on people, this is not college and that wont work for even someone at 450 pounds in the NFL.

Excatly....

For The people defending the McDowell pick....

Does he Play OL?

Where there 2 1st round grade OL in the Draft still there @34?

I can't wrap my head around this pick

 

[Judge Fudge]

You can never have enough guy's to pressure the QB, that's big for any defense...

But who is protecting ours?

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

But who is protecting ours?

They made moves in free agency to improve the O-line a bit, they must feel the talent available isn't that great.. I think they do pick O-line soon though, remember we have 5 more picks today...

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

It's a pick of need but not my first pick that I wanted.

If he can't crack the rotation on the DL I'm sure he'll be given a shot.

I knew they should have fatten up Lacy and put him on the line.

I read so many articles, not sure from where, I think it was Field Goals, what I do remember is after reading the opinion of the article , I purposely googled McDowell to learn about him. I am not surprised at what so ever that we picked him

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

Best CB on the board

 

[Cloud]

There goes Obi to the Raiders. 2 picks ahead of hawks next pick.

 

[MrS]

Im feeling like this is one of the worst drafts we have had in recent memory
