Seattle Seahawks Select E.J. Wilson at 127

by John Morgan on Apr 24, 2010 8:58 AM PDT

E.J. Wilson is a strong side end-tackle tweener. He has NFL level athleticism and strength, but as is the case with tweeners, he needs a position before we should expect success. Think Derek Walker. If he ever breaks through, I think Wilson will either play three-tech inside or work as a situational 3-4 end. This isn't a terribly sexy pick, but could provide decent depth, and that's nothing to sneeze at in the fourth.

Definitely feels like a depth pick to me.

I keep thinking we could have had him in the 5th. Oh well.

but we did get Kam Chancellor to be paired with Thomas

Wilson’s profile makes it look like he could be depth for non – passing situations which we need anyway.

I wish Cops was on...

Wilson is depth

And rotating in for run-stuffing situations?

Very unsexy, but depth picks always are

This is who we essentially traded Tapp for

I think we can now explain the Tapp and Sims trades as players that didn't fit Seattle's scheme.

I hope Curry develops as an end.

Is Sims for Washington and a 7th good value?

I think so.

I really like Leon Washington.

I can't let go of the KR where he put a foot out of bounds and then grabbed the ball.

Giving them the ball on the 40, and showing off knowledge of a rule that none of us knew. While McNabb doesn’t know simple overtime rules, Leon showed off his intelligence.

I’m just excited to watch him with the ball in his hands, but knowing he’s smart while he’s returning makes me happy.

Holy crap, I don't remember that.

Awesome!

Special Teams coach Mike Westhoff certainly gets some credit, but Washington is still the one that made this move on the field.

That's great.

I’m now even more excited to have him.

by thebyron on Apr 26, 2010 2:08 PM PDT up reply actions

I'd certainly say so!

Talents that I covet:

Ndamukong Suh, Gerald McCoy, Sam Bradford, Mike Iupati, Golden Tate, Earl Thomas, and Freddie Barnes

Kam Chancellor, 6'3'' 231lb Safety.

I like this pick a lot.

All The Way, AIRBORNE!!!

Sounds like a depth pick, maybe a special teams pick.

Why is Shaun Alexander

standing in the Oakland backfield adjusting his face mask? I know he slowed down at the end of his career but it’s not like he needed THAT much time to get to the sideline.
