Saturday Draft Thread
by John Morgan on Apr 24, 2010 6:47 AM PDT
Email
PrintSeattle is loaded with third day picks. If a third of them become contributors, this could be one of the best drafts in team history.
Best remaining talent at positions of need (One man's opinion):
RB
Joe McKnight: Fallen far enough to be valuable again.
Lonyae Miller: Nothing wrong with low miles for a running back prospect, nor anything wrong with being stuck behind Ryan Mathews.
James Starks: Half-priced Hardesty.
Deji Karim: Karim looks as perfectly proportioned to play running back as Okung does to play tackle. Dude is thick, and pretty explosive too.
Stafon Johnson: Never been into feel good picks, myself. Luckily, Johnson has excellent vision and quickness into the hole.
CB
Akwasi Owusu-Ansah: Raw, but athletic and young enough to gamble.
Nolan Carroll: Broken bones heal.
Alterraun Verner: Good at football.
R.J. Stanford: The Te'o of the secondary.
TE
Anthony McCoy: Solid all-around tight end.
Dorin Dickerson: Worth finding snaps for. His versatility and athleticism make him a matchup problem like Leonard Weaver or Dustin Keller.
Andrew Quarless: Has never reached his potential and might want to polish up his in-line blocking skills.
S
Kam Chancellor: Thumper.
Josh Pinkard: On his third ACL in his left knee; second in his right, but can still play.
Robert Johnson: Good in college, good athleticism, Johnson is one of the few viable starters at safety still on the board.
DT
Al Woods: Better potential than play, but that's typical for a DT prospect.
Geno Atkins: Last chance to write that.
Arthur Jones: Ditto.
DeMarcus Granger: Former five start prospect that never broke through with Sooners. Injured.
DE
Everson Griffen: See McKnight, Joe.
Corey Wootton: Strongside end with potential, or, formerly with potential. Worth seeing which one is the case.
Lindsey Witten: Standup end type.
Greg Hardy: Another formerly great prospect that's fallen on hard times.
Brandon Sharpe: See Witten, Lindsey.
Thaddeus Gibson: Injured standup end type.
Ricky Sapp: It's a deep class for formerly hyped ends.
Kyle Bosworth: Could make a Chris Clemons type end.
LB
Roddrick Muckelroy: Good all around inside linebacker.
C/G
Marshall Newhouse: A little big, but good athlete.
Jacques McClendon: Powerhouse that played in a ZBS.
Matt Tennant: Traditional Gibbs type.
Jeff Byers: Just draft him already.
QB
Levi Brown
Jevan Snead
Zac Robinson
Dan LeFevour
John Skelton
WR
Dezmon Briscoe: Love his size, athleticism and ability for a 20 year old.
Blair White: Good size and box out ability; good hands.
Kyle Williams: Great speed and coordination.
Mike Williams
Riley Cooper

ESPN refuses to mention anything that's going on in the actual draft.
Has anyone found an NFL network stream?
I downloaded software from the NFL site some time ago. Maybe that's required.
I just tried the link and it worked for me.
Sounds like we got their DT Vickerson too
According to a guy on .net
According to the times
The Seahawks have traded their fourth-round pick, (No. 104), and their sixth-round pick (No. 176) to Tennessee for LenDale White, defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson, the Titans’ fourth-round (No. 111) and their sixth-round pick (No. 185).
Lendale White - Pete's man from USC !
I like this
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
ESPN draft tracker is pretty good... shows the titans 13th this round
Bring Your Game, Leave Your Name.
Per Schefter
Tennessee traded DT Kevin Vickerson, RB Lendale White, picks No. 111 and No. 185 to Seattle for picks No. 104 and No. 176
We swapped spots with TEN in rounds 4 and 6, added two guys for our trouble

This is why he's in the 4th round. No injury and you're looking at like a 2nd round grade.

Thurmond over view for NFL.com
Thurmond has adequate size with excellent athleticism and deceptive strength for the position. He had been the Ducks most active coverage defender over his career before a season-ending injury (after four games) in 2009. Thurmond is a tough, competitive cornerback that has the speed, quickness and agility to be effective in man schemes as well as combination zone coverage’s. He can transition well out of his peddle and can flip his hips quickly to run with speed receivers. Thurmond is an aggressive perimeter defender that can re-route receivers off the line of scrimmage as well as leverage the ball effectively as a run defender. Thurmond is an instinctive player with good ball skills and brings an added dimension to his game as a return specialist. He should be a highly valued cornerback in this year’s draft if his knee is completely healthy.
by Sean Michael Patrick Gallegos on Apr 24, 2010 7:51 AM PDT reply actions
If his knee injury checks out, could be a great pick up
projected as a 1-2 before the injury

Mike Mayock, NFL Network
Seattle continues to impress me. In the fourth round, they get one of my favorite corners, Walter Thurmond. He has a history of injuries, but when he’s healthy, I gave him a second-round grade. Thurmond will instandly compete at corner, nickel and on special teams.

If we run the single wing, we'll probably need a few more. And we can cut those
silly, expensive QBs
Surprisingly, the NFL Network went commercial BEFORE the 'Hawks pick.
Usually they wait until the Seahawks are picking.
Yesterday Casserly said he'd still have a job...
if the team had this draft LAST year. He looked like he had to swallow something foul.
E.J. Wilson?
Ok John I need help, who is he?
150 tackles, 30 for a loss and 12 sacks in college. Not bad...
by Anticitizen_One on Apr 24, 2010 8:43 AM PDT reply actions
We need this from John...
otherwise, we are lost and don’t know what those numbers mean. I need a translation. Is that even in English?
NFL.com write up on Wilson the rank him a 2 out of 10 conversely Griffen was an 8 out of 10
Wilson was a productive, three-year starter for the Tar Heels. He is a tough, competitive player but has below-average athleticism. He understands how to leverage blockers with good pad level and hand use. He reacts to blocking schemes well to press back and restrict running lanes. Wilson doesn’t have good initial quickness or speed to penetrate gaps and shows little range out of the tackle box. He only flashes as a power rusher and will need to expand his moves and counters to contribute in this phase of the game. Wilson is an overachiever who wins with toughness, instincts and technique and may struggle at the next level.
by Sean Michael Patrick Gallegos on Apr 24, 2010 8:46 AM PDT reply actions
EJ weighs 286
bulk him up a bit and move him inside?
This is the pick from the Eagles
The Seahawks traded Tapp for Wilson. Not a good trade
Probably a little soon to label this an epic fail.
We should probably wait a couple years, let him play some football. Or wait till John says something.
Mike Mayock on Wilson
“He’s a three-year starter at DE for Butch Davis. He’s 6-2 1/2, 286, with a 670 pound squat. That’s an impressive number, a North Carolina defensive end record. In Seattle, he’ll be a base DE that’s stout against the run. He needs to develop as a pass rusher.”
As a situational DE
definitely not a 3 down player IMO

From Yahoo sports
National Football Post: A thick, stout defensive end who has some short-area quickness as a pass rusher, but will be at his best on first and second down vs. the run game.
I'm both sheepish that was enthusiastic when he got here
and proud that I was one of the first to call for his head.
I feel like I made up for my stupid opinion with a later smart one
The Colts just took the first player I hadn't heard of.

http://nfldraft.rivals.com/cviewplayer.asp?Player=68356&PT=7&PR=2&type=scoutingreport#scouting
Chancellor is a physical, downhill safety who takes good angles toward the ball and consistently closes on the play. He has an intimidating presence in the secondary and displays the power to disengage the ball from his man on contact. He generates good power and speed in pursuit and wraps up well on contact. He isn’t fluid in his drop and looks stiff when asked to open up his hips and cover ground downfield. He is more of a straight-line athlete who struggles to quickly redirect out of his breaks and can be targeted when left alone in space downfield. He has a tendency to stop moving his feet on play fakes and lacks the range to make up for a false step. But he’s patient in zone coverage and does a good job diagnosing pass plays and using the sideline as an extra defender. Overall, he’s good looking athlete with natural pop and good straight-line speed for his size. But he struggles to change directions and allows receivers too often to get behind him. Chancellor doesn’t look like a guy who has the fluidity and range to play in an NFL secondary, but he could make it as an in-the-box type of safety.
Sounds like Mays...
Just three rounds later. I love this draft.
NFL.com For Chancellor He is like Mays only slower
Chancellor has been a very productive safety for the Hokies over the past three years. He has an outstanding combination of size and strength for the position. Chancellor is more of a box safety in that he is much better defending the run than in coverage. He has decent range off the hash and could be effective in combination zone schemes but may be a liability in pure man coverage schemes. He uses his hands well to ward off blockers when filling the alley and flashes to make the big hit. Chancellor is inconsistent with his angles and instincts with the ball in the air. Chancellor is a good football player and should be effective in the right system at the next level. Chancellor should contribute early as a special teams player and a goal line safety.

Weird. I’m gonna stop looking at these numbers, obviously the Seahawks arent.
Since the end of last year they've acquired 4 DEs with the same skill set
Graham, Teo, Sapp and Tapp.
Yeah, but that have ignored their O-line issues..
Their fans aren’t happy about that part of the draft.
Well I'm thinking with the Eagles and all these DE prospects.
May be happy with the 2nd and 3rd and maybe try to leverage the top DE pick for better position now. You pick your draft but maybe someone falls that you didn’t expect and think would fill that need fairly well.
I think it's a little shady...
which might make future trades hard with that team. Just an idea. Maybe I’m just too PollyAnna.

Here’s to another awesome day from the Seahawks HQ!
Mayock on Chancellor.
Mike Mayock, NFL Network
133 — Seahawks — S Cam Chancellor
Chancellor is identically sized free safety as Taylor Mays. They’re both 6-3, 231. Interesting that Pete Carroll has taken a Mays clone in the fifth round. Chancellor has better movement skills than people realize. He’s tough and well-coached out of Virginia Tech. He’s an interesting compliment to Earl Thomas, who the Seahawks picked in the first round.
I love our secondary picks this draft. Solid, with some big upside.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Translation: Pete wanted *A* Taylor Mays, just not Taylor Mays.
You know, cause he knows him too well.
Chancellor was a Rover for the Hokies up until last year.
So basically, he’s still learning how to play safety.
It's been like 25 picks since the last rb was drafted.
Don’t let me go home empty-handed again, Seattle…

Those went out the window in the 1st after the Raiders made a sensible pick, and the Bills and Jags didn’t.
Teams must be scared of that 10-yard split
But once he gets going he seems to pull away. I’d still like to see us grab him, but obviously we didn’t need to use an earlier pick.

He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is

Posted by Mike Florio on October 25, 2009 6:51 PM ET
As expected, that ugly leg injury suffered on Sunday by Jets running back Leon Washington will end his 2009 season. A league source tells us that Washington suffered a fractured fibula in the first half of the Jets’ Week Seven game against the Raiders. Washington will have surgery in Oakland because the bone broke through the skin, raising fears of infection. He’s expected to be back to full strength in 2010, with a projected recovery time of 12 weeks.

Any Mariner fans here?
I know it’s just the draft and there were some questionable decisions early (see: Whitehurst), but this feels a little like watching Jack Z work after Bavasi left. Rebuilding and doing some exciting things!
I fucking hate you Mariners
Thanks for your response.
I fucking hate you Mariners
I imagine Cedeno might be a good comp for White.
Glad to have him considering the alternatives but holy fuck get off my team.
If Washington heals, he will be great.
I live in New York, and have been following the Jets the past couple of seasons.
Washintnog was cinsistenly better than Jones in any given situation, even running between the tackles. It seemed like he always gained 5-7 yards, if he didn’t break one for 20 or 30. It always surprised me when they put Jones back in, and he would run for 3 or 4 behind the same line in the same game.
Okay lets just pause for a second
Thomas and Chancellor our new safeties … Tate, Okung, Washington, White… imagine Thurmond being fine, cause he should be. I’m Carroll-style pumped.
Okay now imagine if Mike Williams and Reggie Williams both pan out.
Holy shit, people. Whitehurst looked sketchy, but what if they nailed that one too?
Well, I believe they can evaluate talent properly
It’s too bad they didn’t draft day trade for Whitehurst…they’re in the zone and might have gotten a pick to take him.
True
but I think of Whitehurst this way… if the Chargers could evaluate QBs they’d still have Brees.
The Jets will really regret going with LT instead
awesome grab, hope they can keep working the magic and get something for Jones today
These wholesale changes beg the question
Why the hell weren’t Ruskell & Mora doing something similar last year???
They suck?

Ruskell kept trying to ride an offense that had fallen apart.
We never really saw him in full wheel and deal rebuild mode.
Well, Q/PM get an easy pass with no Salary Cap
This makes it infinitely easier to acquire players during the draft.
The 7th round's going to be funny
“And in the seventh round, the New England Patriots take the rest of the draft.”
Seems fair.
And since this draft is TEN TIMES as good as last years, 7th round scrub QB’s are pretty much guaranteed hall of famers.
There are a lot of decent prospects left.
I’d be OK with it if they’re better than Teel. But I’m no QB evaluator…
Gentlemen we have 4 starters from this draft, 5 if Chancellor can push Babs out
And two completely acceptable new RBs for almost free
Leon Washington, Lendale White, AND Justin Forsett?
I hope we have a top 10 rushing attack.
The Seahawks have traded my signature to the Detroit Lions for a 6th round draft pick.
We added Okung and the Guard from Denver
Plus Unger is no longer a rookie and Locklear should be healthy for the whole year. What else do you want?

He will work harder than Russell.
So, the rest of the team will play harder. Did you see them play for Gradkowski? They’ll definitely play at least that hard.
Gradkowski was my fantasy save when Matt Ryan went down
also until HE went down, but all that dude did was fling the ball around… I guess that’s what you do when your team is behind all the time.

Anyway, this is a sign of the Apocalypse. Better start hoarding canned peaches now.
The trading this year has been crazy
Half of the picks look like this — 27 (158) Jaguars (From Cowboys through Patriots, Broncos and Raiders )
You know what? I'm good with the draft
We could stop drafting right now and this would be an A+ draft for the Seahawks. The next picks are extra credit, at this point.
Damn. I woke up at 6am then fell back asleep before the draft started

The 49ers continue to get bigger, stronger and more physical. After taking Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati with their first two picks in the first round, they’ve taken 240-pound TB Anthony Dixon from Mississippi State. Just when you think you’ve had enough of Frank Gore, they’ll come downhill and smack you in the face with Dixon. The 49ers will bring a whole new physicality to the NFC West.
