The pick is IN! #5

[HawksNation]

I wanted Anderson or a trade down.

Richardsons terrible accuracy just reminds me of another Florida Gator that was highly touted and lived up to nothing

I know they were trying to trade, but couldn’t get a deal done

 

[Maelstrom787]

Sure give the QB 10 seconds to stand still in the pocket. I'm sure the corner's are gonna start holding or PI.

Can't fill every need at once, and they still have another first and two second rounders to go. Calm it down, sheesh. They have more capital left than most teams have period.

Such an incredibly stupid ******* pick, you pass on a bona-fide elite game changer in Carter and you draft a ******* CB

Carter is overrated around here. He's got some serious concerns. I could see him just as easily being a major bust.

 

[FrodosFinger]

For his size he is very physical and a ballhawk. Fits the tradition of a Hawk DB.

Now the BIG question is when do the Hawks add an interior DL to anchor this defense?

They will next pick hopefully Bresee if available

 

[WarHawks]

After thinking about it a bit, this pick does have LOB written all over it. His hits remind me of Kam.

 

[Scout]

I am really curious to see if the Hawks draft a front seven defender with the 2oth pick.

 

[Seahwkgal]

A bit of a shocker. I was calling for Carter.

Pete never takes corners this early, so this should tell you that we really, really like him.

exactly what I was thinking

@Sgt. Largent told you

 

[Rainger]

CBs look much better when the QB doesn’t get 60 seconds to pass the ball because THERE IS NO PASS RUSH

Calm down those needs will be addressed. Carter single handed would not have made D line the best in the league if everyone else is as bad as you say.

 

[Chevy]

For those that are not familiar with Devon...

You would've played this same game with any pick, because you cannot fill every need at once. You can't manifest a blue chip pass rusher out of thin air because you happen to need one. This isn't a grocery store, it's a draft with a finite supply of talent unevenly dispersed across positions.

 

[keasley45]

I really wanted Richardson, Damn Colts.

Just watch Seahawks trade up to 14 to select Jalen Carter ( Guess)

According to reports, the eagles are going to take him at 10 if he's still there.

 

[Chapow]

Good thing they still have 3 more picks in the first 2 rounds (thanks Russ!).

Exactly.

Everyone acting like the draft is over and it's a huge disaster they didn't fix the front 7 with their first pick.

I sure hope so

 

[Spin Doctor]

especially since the dude couldn't get his conditioning in order. I think he potentially falls out of the top 10.

 

[Seafan20]

Pete is a ******* moron

Did not expect this but living in Big10 country I have watched Witherspoon for the past two years. He is a beast. Great coverage and a big hitter. I am not upset by this pick.

 

[HawkinNY]

Remember how Seattle passed on DK and every other team did. Thank god other teams didn’t pick him cause that draft was terrible. If they only get 1 or 2 decent players in this draft I think they won’t win shit. They need to hit like last year. But if they go back to the way they usually pick. They are screwed. We easily forget how awful the last 5 or 6 drafts were before last year.

 

[maciasstrong68]

surprise pick for sure .. NOT worth the 5th pick ... but what do i know all of these past 1st rounder have been great for pete LMFAO !! joke

 

[Ozzy]

There was no way Pete was going to pick a dude with work ethic questions. Wasn't going to happen

 

[Maelstrom787]

What good is a great secondary without stopping the run? We did not need secondary help. He had better have 18 INT’s this year.

Yeeeah, nah, secondary help is still of great assistance. Mike Jackson is your starting boundary corner going into the draft? Yeah, corner's still a need. You also don't need to spend pick 5 to stop the run.
