He did have some injury issues while at Boise State, but when he was on the field he dominated. Tom Cable was in Boise for the Boise State pro day and spend a lot of time with Rees, so he obviously sees something special in the guy. Also, many sporting sites are giving this pick a pretty good grade, for whatever that's worth. Pot Roast is a great nickname for Odhiambo.
3rd round, Pick #97, Rees Odhiambo, T/OG, Boise State

I actually really like this pick, I knew about this guy before the draft and yes, he didn't SPARQ test well, but he has barely played any football so there is def untapped potential there and I'm happy they are getting big physical lineman and going back to running/stopping the run.

You're becoming one of my favorite .net posters. Reasonable with enough sass to make a point. Good form.Seafan":2ka5dq1j said:

Instead of Pot Roast, let's call him Cooter Burger.
Anyway, he's our first "I guess we'll see...?" pick. Kind of an honorary title in PC/JS drafts.

I think Dahl is a lot better lineman than this guy, I hope I am wrong and this guy turns out to be a stud.

Long term that may be true. But Dahl is coming out of that spread offense and has no experience power blocking. None.
Rees comes from a pro style system with a track record. He's ready to contribute right away where Dahl is more of a long term project.

IMHO, it was a very poor reaction, that means something to me but, of course, let's let him talk on the field ... I'd be delighted to be proven wrong ...

Was not aware that O lineman had to be conversationalists and mechanical in their appearance.
Anything to knock a prospect down I guess, I will just enjoy the Pancakes and the defense looking at Rawls ass from the ground after Pot Roast puts them in his Crock Pot.

I wonder if Seattle would have still made this pick if they still had their 4th rounder. It was a pretty long wait after Odhiambo until their next pick.

Disagreeing with some on here and agreeing with others, I thought his reaction was raw and, in its own way, a very beautiful little thing.

I have the exact same sense.
Don't get it actually?
Did not think this player was worth close to pick #97 and was doing a genuine WTF when the pick was announced. This pick has a Britt feel to it and looked to me to be at least a 2 rd. reach at the time. I don't see the functional strength apparently the subject of interest in any film though he does have quick feet, but w/o any objective measurables in that regard.
My least favourite pick of this draft.

Rees reminds me of Alvin Bailey if Bailey actually liked to hit people. He plays with toughness and demonstrates good pass blocking technique. He just needs to get a little stronger. The willingness is there.

I like his tape personally. Pop in run game, good feet. Lacked length to be outside and it showed sometimes on tape, but he will be really good inside at G. JS said if not for injury, he believes Odhiambo was a top 45 player in this draft. Pretty ringing endorsement.

This is interesting...not sure if it's correct:
"Chad Reuter of NFL.com gives the Seahawks an A:
The Seahawks traded up to get Reed, a nice fit to fill in for Brandon Mebane in the middle of the defensive line.
Prosise could be the next Matt Forte, so getting him at pick No. 90 was great value.
I do have a bit of a concern picking Odhiambo in the third round, but only because of durability concerns. If he can stay healthy, he should be a starting left tackle.
Jefferson fits the strong and long defensive linemen that Pete Carroll likes.
Collins could be Beast Mode Jr., and Brooks is also a tough guy.
Hunt is a solid center.
Lawler could have been a fourth- or fifth-round pick, so hats off to the Seahawks."
