My first post... so go easy.
To help pass the time until the draft, I dabble on mocking Seattle players using player rankings from various draft outlets. These two below are derived using NFLDraftScout.com. The first draft supposes that Flynn is traded. The second supposes he stays:
The focus of the first, QB focused draft is as follows
1) Establish competition at right tackle with a raw but talented player that would benefit from Seattle coaching (High Upside)
2) Use Simon as a third down WILL rush linebacker specialist in our pseudo 3-4 looks (Unique Traits)
3) Further the 3rd down bandit package with a pure 3-gap rush tackle (Unique Traits)
4) Establish competition at the QB position with a raw but talented player that would benefit from Seattle coaching (High Upside)
5) Establish competition at the CB position, with focus on length, speed, and ball awareness (Diamond in Rough)
6) Establish competition at the WILL position, with focus on length and ability to diagnose plays, make tackles (Special Teams)
7) Establish competition at CB and special teams, with focus on length and speed (Special Teams)
8) Establish competition at the FS spot with length, height, and speed ratios to complement scheme (Special Teams)
9) Establish competition at the 5th WR spot with height, weigh, speed and YAC (High Upside)
10) Establish competition at the RB spot with size, speed, balance (High Upside)

The focus of the second, Line focused draft is as follows
1) Establish competition at right tackle with a raw but talented player that would benefit from Seattle coaching (High Upside)
2) Use Simon as a third down WILL rush linebacker specialist in our pseudo 3-4 looks (Unique Traits)
3) Use Quinn's insights and need for OLB help, using Jenkin's decent size and great quickness (Unique Traits)
4) Establish competition for the 1-tech position with Mebane not getting any younger (High Upside)
5) My favorite pick, CB to bring competition to BB with height, weight, length (High Upside)
6) A reach for a TE that may make a difference (Reach)
7) Mr. English preferred 2013 backup QB, and one I saw on a weekly basis here in Charlotte. Kid can ball (High Upside)
8) Establish competition at the FS spot with length, height, and speed ratios to complement scheme (Special Teams)
9) Establish competition at the 5th WR spot with height, weigh, speed and YAC (High Upside)
