Pick #209, Obum Gwachum, DE, Oregon State

[onanygivensunday]

6'6, 246, converted from wideout his senior year

HERE IS OUR SLEEPER BIG RECEIVER !!!

I just watched his combine workout.

He fought every ball thrown to him.

He's no WR.

Perfect type of 6th round. A freak athlete at a very valuable position

For those immune to subtlety, this post was directed at those who were screaming for a tall receiver after we snarfed Lockett.

I do sometimes wonder if js/ pc do this to try and look like geniuses.

Hey if he turns into a freak edge rusher, great! If not, then so be it.

Its only an end of sixth round pick. Some of you guys really need to relax. PC/JS have earned some benefit of the doubt by now

 

[Pick6]

Not football related but I heard from my sis that he is a business major and overall nice guy.

I think he'll be SLB/LEO depth. And play both ways in practice if needed.

Seahawks could be preparing to move on from Irvin and get possibly a 3rd round comp if he has a big season.

Worries me actually. Call it Aj Smith syndrome. Refuse to make the easy pick.

I hear you. When they took Maxwell, Lane, Sweezy...all that cute shit never works out. They ended up looking so stupid with those picks.

Who would you have picked?

Problem is that going with the easy pick is the Ruskell method. You end up with nice guys that are safe and were starters at big programs like Miami, USC, Virginia Tech and Notre Dame - the high floor/low ceiling approach lands you Kelly Jennings, Lawrence Jackson, Daryll Tapp and John Carlson. Guys who can be proud of their careers, but ultimately had marginal impacts.

I believe I answered that question in an earlier post - I was tugging on those who were crying that Lockett wasn't tall.
If we switch him, I'd say SS. But I don't really want a long explanation as to why he's better somewhere else cuz that doesn't matter. It's my dream, not yours.
Nya, nya, nya :th2thumbs:

Yeah, those two Super Bowls and all them playoff wins sure suggest that they're just horsing around on draft day, pulling picks from each others anal orifi... and giggling cuz no one gets it but this one guy who posted here.
Yeah, that's the ticket.

Did we really need a project at DE? I realize it is the 6th round, but it would have been nice to try and find a diamond in the rough for a position of bigger need.

Agree 100% with this proposition -- why not an OL "project"?

Oh Boom Gotta Watch him, is what opposing offense will be saying

They got an OL "project"

Not every pick has to be OL...

 

[Throwdown]

It's a 6th round pick, Jesus Christ you guys are buzz kills.

I'm excited for this one.
