A week or so ago I posted how Seattle should take a WR/TE in round one. But after watching the superbowl the game is won in the trenches. Now my position is that Seattle needs to solidify the interior of the O-line or add a young DT to add depth/youth to an older more expensive D-line. Below are players I believe should be around when Seattle picks in the first round.
Round one:
Zach Martin,OG,ND- Zach Martin has a well rounded game with his ability in pass protection and his physicality in the run game. He could play Tackle in the NFL but for me he is a potential all-pro guard that would be an instant upgrade at either OG spot for Seattle.
Xavier Su'a-filo,OG,UCLA- filo is a athletic mauler that would bring a different level of physicality and athleticism to the interior O-line that has been inconsistant against the toughest competition. Filo would upgrade the run game as well as having experience at tackle to deal with the speed,length, and physicality of the NFC west DT's C. Cambell/M.Brockers.
Antonio Richardson,OG/OT,Tenn- I like Richardson as a Seahawk becuase until Giacomini leaves Richardson could play guard. i think the experiment with Sweezy has run its course he can't hold up against the bull rush or open up holes against ARZ or SF without the cut blocks. Richardson would bring the size and athleticism that they thought J. Carpenter had when they drafted him.
Aaron Donald- Seattle would welcome his unique ablities and versatility to their front seven and would get the most out of him in my opinion.
Brent Urban,DT,Virgina- Urban would be tough to deal with in any scheme. But with Seattle and the edge rushers they have he would be a nightmare. Urban's length,size, and athleticism has the potential to be disruptive like J.J. Watt.
Rashede Hageman- Could be a Red Bryant 2.0 for Seattle if he's their at the end of the first.
Timmy Jernigan,DT,FSU- not impressed with his conditioning but in Seattle I think he would play well in the DT rotation. Jernigan could play the 3-tech as well as some nose guard in passing situations.
