SEAHAWKS 2015 DRAFT UPDATE
Hello Folks! I haven’t written an article in a while… a matter of life and laziness meeting at the same corner. But while I was waiting to make my picks I figured I’d write up a quick article. Full disclosure… I missed the pre-draft Free Agency period as I was on the beach in Mexico. That was fine with me, I don’t often compete for top free agents so I was ok making up for it later. In addition I didn’t do that much prep for the draft. I think I finally ran the draft numbers on the Tuesday and did more of a deep dive on Wednesday. Then the draft came Thursday. Well here are my picks and what I thought about them: [b]1.20 – C Richie Incognito Jr. [/b]– Looking at the mocks and listening to the chatter I actually had HB Frank Gore targeted with this pick. Now I don’t need a HB but his talent was looked too good to pass up. To my surprise the Bears swooped in and took him at 1.17. From that I swiveled to the top guy left on my books with was C Incognito. What a player! Fully formed man with 97 STR and 87 run and pass blocking. With 68 AWR this guys is ready to start. Through in the fact he is a nasty piece of business… well he will be leader of my Oline until he retires. I can’t wait to watch him bully dlinemen across the league. [b]2.20 - LG Logan Mankins[/b] – Oh yeah… you want to play Seattle? Welcome to the RAINDOME! Mankins and Incoginto together means we have two of the nastiest players in the league playing beside each other! I did come into the draft wanting to add to my Oline. We have been using old veterans and young kids who didn’t really have a chance to succeed. Mankins isn’t as athletic as Incognito but with his 96 STR and 86 PBK and 88 RBK he will be solid in the middle. We are ecstatic with our first two round picks. [b]3.20 – WR Jacoby Ford[/b] – This pick should be of no surprise to anyone. The most athletic player in the draft goes to Seattle… just as it should be. I’m sure he fell cause he’s short and his AWR was low but we brought him in for private workouts and he’s even faster than was first reported! And his AWR was underestimated. He will be a great weapon we can bring out to work opposite Koren Robinson our stud WR. [b]5.20 - WR Airese Currie[/b] – we fully expected to take a backup QB or OT with this pick. Imagine our surprise when Currie, who we were considering taking at 3.20, fell into our laps. Private workouts shown him to be even more athletic than everyone thought. He was too good to pass on and will likely work out of the slot on our 3 WR sets. Our WR core has been immensely improved by this draft… even though we had no intention of adding to it. [b]6.20 - DT Andrew Hoffman[/b] – Again came into this spot expecting to pick up a backup QB or OT but then this player was still on the board. We seriously considered him at 3.20 and likely would have taken him if we had a 4th round pick. Just a big, strong kid. He is faster then first noted and has solid fundamentals. Could not be happier he was her for us to take at this pick. [b]7.20 - QB Jason Campbell [/b]– we only have one QB on the roster so wanted to draft another to add to our depth. Campbell is nothing to write home about but he was the best of what was available. So that was our draft. We got shockingly good value into the 6th round and might consider this one of our best drafts ever! See when the season kicks off.
