The pick is IN! #5

[Chapow]

Rob Rang said on KJR said he had Witherspoon going to Detroit at #6 in his mock, so it’s not the reach that some think it is.

Anyone who thinks this pick is a reach has absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

That's hilarious

Spoon got as high a grade at cbs as every other pick a B

 

[suppaball]

Yeeeah, nah, secondary help is still of great assistance. Mike Jackson is your starting boundary corner going into the draft? Yeah, corner's still a need. You also don't need to spend pick 5 to stop the run.

I still do not like the pick.

He would have gone at 6 if not for us. I'm cool with it. Thinking they're going to start dealing here shortly. Wouldn't be surprised if we move up from 20.

Looks like went with best player (red flags included in evaluation) vs need

 

[Jerhawk]

If Schneider and Carroll liked this guy, I'll support their decision.

It's not the sexy mock draft pick, but I'll support them.

Kid is a heavy hitter with good instincts. Better than Bryant and Jackson

Huard predicted this pick.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Would the Hawks be considered geniuses if they take Carter @ 20?

 

[Wizofwest]

Love this pick. DL players at 5 had flags or didn’t fit scheme. Witherspoon is a monster.

 

[suppaball]

Backfield doesn't matter if teams are getting 6 yards a carry on this front seven.

Yes

 

[Mick063]

Love the pick. For me it was Carter, Witherspoon, Wilson or trade down.

LOB Baby.

Best Seahawky pick available at 5 and it makes perfect LoB II sense

Unsure what the red flags on this guy are. I don’t really follow to much until after we draft them. I knew a lot of people were going to be shocked since we picked (according to Pet and John board) best player available and not need. that is why we hit it out of the park last year. Also don’t we recall a time we had an elite secondary who’ve gave our defensive line more time to get to the QB. Meh I guess that didn’t work out./s

Guys cmon if Carter would be so great than he would ne gone…
Detroit also passed on him

 

[NoGain]

This draft is going to be about how many true starters we can acquire. Can it be two, three, four, even five of them? We'll see...

 

[HawkRiderFan]

I'm just happy I didn't roast Chad Reuter either on twitter on on here for his mock, calling for a corner to the Hawks at 5.

Mina Kimes who despite being a Hawk fans is not afraid to call out ou first round picks in the past likes this one and called CB "an underrated need"

 

[Ruminator]

A Mack truck who knows how to time his 100 mph hits squarely at ball carriers for max impact? And who will immediately complement Tariq? Hell, yeah!

Detroit hasn't picked yet. They traded to Arizona

 

[Germanhawk7]

Detroit hasn't picked yet. They traded to Arizona

They traded there pick. If they would love him than they wouldnt trade to 12

 

[gabel]

This better not be a QB.

Sure looks like a Safety to me. Diggs makes a lot of money and I thought he lost a step.
