Apologies if this has been posted earlier or if I have missed it.

The offense needs some love in round 1, for once.

Okung, Carp, were round one's so I don't get that statement. Earl and Irvin were our other picks, Earl the same year as Okung, Irvin last year. Where were they suppose to get another first rounder to use on offense. It's been 50/50 so far.

Skill players, not linemen. We haven't drafted a WR/TE/RB in round 1 since Stevens 11 years ago.
That's the part to get.

Yes ... but it would be nice to draft a young stud to grow with Wilson. He and Tate are developing a nice rapport, but I think we need a big, strong guy or even Tavon Austin.
Rice is really good, but not dominating. Lynch is a workhorse racking up carries on his way towards the twilight of his career. Miller is rock solid, but not explosive or dynamic.
We added Robert Turbin last year to help take the load off of Lynch. It would be nice to infuse the offense with a potential game breaker at WR or TE. Pete and John have made no secret of their desire to add touchdown makers. Only 3 of 10 picks in 2012 were offensive players, and one of those (Sweezy) was a defender when drafted and then converted.
Just my opinion - we address the D primarily through free agency and give the offense some love in the draft.

I hate BPA as a term. It oversimplifies the whole process. Not picking on you at all, but thinking like this caused us to sign Housh for big bucks and draft Curry for big bucks over Michael Crabtree.
Also, a 32 year old player wouldn't change Seattle's draft plans. DT is looking relatively thin this year- Seattle needs to grab one very early if they want a good one. WR and TE can definitely wait til later. Both are very deep groups. Seattle would probably need to go DT in round one if they wanted to assure themselves any of the three best options (Short, Richardson, Jones).
Sadly, the NFL is catching on to Seattle's valuation methods and our types of players will be going much earlier than usual in this draft.

Most teams front offices won't have the vision that John and Pete share, most staffs won't feel comfortable putting a high priced vet on the bench if a rookie is playing better and is a lower round pick.
That type of commitment to a philosophy is what makes Seattles system work. The player types are those that fits Petes system and his coaches also, other systems may not look at the same skill set Pete looks at when he and staff grade players. Wilson and Irvins success brought the spotlight on us since most experts thought they were not impact players.

Definitely! It is no mystery that our defense seems to take a step back when McDonald is in. The funny thing is that he is still better than Jennings.

Wasn't McDonald the backup to Jones in pass rush situations? Somewhat makes sense that you would have a drop-off when you don't have your 1st stringer.
