The day has finally arrived for the NFL draft. The most
interesting thing is what the Seahawks will do. Since they have the 26th
pick it will be a while unless they decide to trade up. I figure most likely
would trade down and not take the 26th pick unless they feel that
the pick will not be there later on.
The custom since Pete Carroll and John Schneider have come to
Seattle we have to wait for a while to see who the Seahawks have to pick. It
would not surprise me if we don’t hear about a pick tonight at all. I am not sure
if I will be watching or listening to find out what is going on the draft for a
few hours. I may see who the two top quarterbacks go to at the top of the draft
but stay a way for a while. Nice about the social media I can check in every
few minutes to see who have been picked. Actually I will be out for a couple
hours this evening spending time with some friends so I will tune in after
which could be hearing about the Seahawks pick if they keep it.
What is nice the draft is boring for teams that continue
winning all the time. I am sure the New England Patriot fans can relate. The
bad teams get to see what happens early to see if their team will have
improvement next season. Other words it gives them some hope.
Besides who the Seahawks draft first whatever round it turns
out to be the interesting thing in the draft is how many offensive linemen will
they select. We all know the offensive line is the help the Seahawks need the
most. The other selections will be to add depth to the team. I am sure it will
be later in the draft however it would be nice if the Seahawks could select
both a quarterback and a running back. The Seahawks need to develop a quarterback
and add depth to running back. The last few years we have seen that teams that
lose their starting quarterback to injury they struggle during that time. The
Seahawks have been blessed to have a quarterback like Russell Wilson who stays
healthy. We will be in a poor position if we lose him for any period of
time. All the other positions can be
filled with injuries however it has been shown how important the quarterback
position is. Remember the Indianapolis Colts when Peyton Manning was out the whole
season they ended up with the worst record in the NFL. They were fortunate to
draft Andrew Luck and traded Manning.
Well everyone enjoy the draft to the extent that you like it.
Remember we are still three months away until training camp starts. In the
meantime I will be enjoying baseball at the same time checking in. Go Seahawks!
