You serious? The guy says OL and EVERY offensive position? This draft is all defense and that is the way we better roll. Give Russ a good G-C-G and go defense full on no pass go. Interesting so many Guards in FA.... right? And some of good of the good ones are signed by us. Getting curious now, I am interested to see why I'm offbase.
There are a lot of intriguing options at multiple positions.
If Ramczyk or Bolles were to fall to 26 (could happen), I would say take either. I'd expect us to take either too. OT is probably the 2nd hardest position to fill adequately in this league behind QB. And there are 64 starting positions in this league. All teams are OT hungry.
While it's epic in defensive quality and depth, it is equally epic and deep at TE. There are multiple prospects who look equal to the next Graham/Olsens of this league in this draft. Strong future pro bowl talents in day two in this group. Seattle does have medium term need at the position. Graham is now 30+ in age. And it's possible he won't/can't be retained after this season.
There are competing theories at work here. All teams have multiple needs in every year. Strong depth often times directs teams to address other needs early where talent is short, and take advantage of getting good players in R2-R4. So despite such an epic class on defense, teams could satisfy OL need and then still get upgrades in day two. It's just impossible to predict how teams will go. Odds are there will be some teams that choose this route for other positions (RB, WR, OL, DL). It's actually not a good DL class, but has some really attractive day 1 options. I'd expect that teams will overdraft at DL and Edge this year.
Seattle has a pretty solid history of double dipping into deep draft classes. With 5 picks in the top 3 rounds, I'd expect them to spread the love around some. It's highly possible that we don't go DB in R1. Mainly due to the depth in this class, and in particular the large number of prospects who fit our profile. There looks to be about 3x as many Seahawk prototypes in this class relative to other classes. And probably half of them will be available in R2/3.
