At 138 Seattle selects, Tharold Simon, CB LSU

Don't know him. But he's a defender from LSU, so i assume he's good. Plus, Seahawks always pick good DBs.

Wow. Another tall CB.

BAM! Mentioned him in the draft forum. Got my kearly on

He's got talent but he's very raw. He stood out to me on film because of his size... perfect fit for our D as he won't have to play much right away (maybe just on ST), and he can learn from another 5th round CB who just happens to the best in football right now.

This guy already looks like a Seahawks CB. Tall and fast.

Hes a big CB so I like him.

Definite Sherman padawan.

Pete loves his secondary. And with ours, we don't need someone to contribute immediately. We have time to coach him up.

Day 3 is looking really good.

Risky given his off field issues. Could be a nice pickup if he stays out of trouble.

two absolutly fantastic picks in Williams and Simon. Steals.

I heard he got arrested because of a parking issue?

He smart mouthed a cop.... Who hasn't ever wanted to do that? lol

Seattle's killing it this round. Big, physical corner. I like his skill level, but it almost doesn't matter. Pete's gonna coach this guy up, and he's got time to learn.

lol hahah he sounds like my kinda guy. He said this to a cop after he told Simon to move his car, which I guess was parked illegally.

“I own Eunice,” Simon said. “I’m gonna buy these projects and you are gonna be mine.”

I would love to be in the court room the day this goes to trial lol

Love the pick, he was on my list of guys I wanted. If we can get Chase Thomas today I'd be pretty stoked about the whole draft.

Nice highlights. Loved his pass defense a d tackling. Thanks for the highlights. What were his stats for 2012?

Tweeted about Tharold Simon this week as a possible SEA target. 6'2 press corner who can play the run. Physical. Plays SEA's brand of FB.

How nervous would you be as a rookie CB trying to make the Seattle Seahawks roster?

Strap on that helmet, son.
