I believe enough time has finally passed to decide how the Seahawks did in the 2010 draft.
Round 1: LT Russel Okung, FS Earl Thomas
Both of these picks have proven to be very good picks for the Hawks.
The people picked between Okung and Thomas were:
7 CLE Haden, Joe, CB, Florida
8 OAK McClain, Rolando, LB, Alabama
9 BUF Spiller, C.J., RB, Clemson
10 JAX Alualu, Tyson, DE, California
11 SF Davis, Anthony, OT, Rutgers
12 SD Mathews, Ryan, RB, Fresno State
13 PHI Graham, Brandon, DE, Michigan
First round picks after Thomas:
15 NYG Pierre-Paul, Jason, DE, South Florida
16 TEN Morgan, Derrick, DE, Georgia Tech
17 SF Iupati, Mike, OG, Idaho
18 PIT Pouncey, Maurkice, C, Florida
19 ATL Weatherspoon, Sean, LB, Missouri
20 HOU Jackson, Kareem, CB, Alabama
21 CIN Gresham, Jermaine, TE, Oklahoma
22 DEN Thomas, Demaryius, WR, Georgia Tech
23 GB Bulaga, Bryan, OT, Iowa
24 DAL Bryant, Dez, WR, Oklahoma State
25 DEN Tebow, Tim, QB, Florida
26 ARI Williams, Dan, DT, Tennessee
27 NE McCourty, Devin, CB, Rutgers
28 MIA Odrick, Jared, DT, Penn State
29 NYJ Wilson, Kyle, CB, Boise State
30 DET Best, Jahvid, RB, California
31 IND Hughes, Jerry, DE, TCU
32 NO Robinson, Patrick, CB, Florida State
Even with hindsight, I think I still take Okung and Thomas. I could see people make arguments for different people.
Round one grade: A+
Round 2: Golden Tate
2nd round and beginning of third round picks after Tate:
29 NYJ Ducasse, Vlad, OT, Massachusetts
30 NE Spikes, Brandon, LB, Florida
31 IND Angerer, Pat, LB, Iowa
32 NO Brown, Charles, OT, Southern Cal
--------------------------------------------------
1 STL Murphy, Jerome, CB, South Florida
2 DET Spievey, Amari, CB, Iowa
3 TB Lewis, Myron, CB, Vanderbilt
4 KC Asamoah, Jon, OG, Illinois
5 OAK Veldheer, Jared, OT, Hillsdale
6 BAL Dickson, Ed, TE, Oregon
7 GB Burnett, Morgan, SS, Georgia Tech
8 BUF Carrington, Alex, DE, Arkansas State
9 MIA Jerry, John, OT, Mississippi
10 JAX Smith, D'Anthony, DT, Louisiana Tech
11 CHI Wright, Major, FS, Florida
12 NYG Jones, Chad, FS, LSU
13 TEN Williams, Damian, WR, Southern Cal
14 CAR LaFell, Brandon, WR, LSU
15 SD Butler, Donald, LB, Washington
16 DEN Walton, J.D., C, Baylor
17 HOU Mitchell, Earl, DT, Arizona
18 PIT Sanders, Emmanuel, WR, Southern Methodist
19 ATL Peters, Corey, DT, Kentucky
20 CIN Shipley, Jordan, WR, Texas
21 CLE McCoy, Colt, QB, Texas
Golden Tate struggled his first 2 seasons, but last season really blossomed into a solid player. I think in the second round I would still take him. Perhaps an argument could be made to have taken Mike Williams here (round 4 pick) but it would have been considered an EXTREME reach and he didn't do much last season.
Grade: A
Round 3: No picks
Round 4: Walter Thurmond, EJ Wilson
round 4 picks after Thurmond before wilson:
14 NYJ McKnight, Joe, RB, Southern Cal
15 NE Hernandez, Aaron, TE, Florida
16 BAL Pitta, Dennis, TE, BYU
17 NYG Dillard, Phillip, LB, Nebraska
18 PIT Gibson, Thaddeus, DE, Ohio State
19 ATL Hawley, Joe, OG, UNLV
20 HOU Graham, Garrett, TE, Wisconsin
21 MIA Edds, A.J., LB, Iowa
22 CIN Atkins, Geno, DT, Georgia
23 PHI Clayton, Keenan, LB, Oklahoma
24 PHI Kafka, Mike, QB, Northwestern
25 NO Woods, Al, DT, LSU
26 CAR Norwood, Eric, LB, South Carolina
27 PHI Harbor, Clay, TE, Missouri State
28 DAL Owusu-Ansah, Akwasi, CB, Indiana
round 4/5 Picks after Wilson
30 DET Fox, Jason, OT, Miami
31 IND McClendon, Jacques, OG, Tennessee
32 ARI Schofield, O'Brien, DE, Wisconsin
33 CIN Muckelroy, Roddrick, LB, Texas
----------------------------------------
1 STL Hoomanawanui, Michael, TE, Illinois
I'm still foolishly holding out a hope that Thurmond turns into a decent player, but he really hasn't done anything for the Seahawks. He has constantly been injured. Using hindsight with the Thurmond pick, I would have taken Dennis Pita.
Definitely should have done something different with the EJ Wilson Pick, but I'm not sure who we should have taken.
Round 4 Grade: B+
Round 5: Kam Chancellor
Round 5 picks after Kam:
3 PHI Sapp, Ricky, DE, Clemson
4 ATL Franks, Dominique, CB, Oklahoma
5 KC Lewis, Kendrick, FS, Mississippi
6 DEN Cox, Perrish, CB, Oklahoma State
7 OAK McFadden, Walter, DB, Auburn
8 NYJ Conner, John, RB, Kentucky
9 BUF Wang, Ed, OT, Virginia Tech
10 CHI Moore, Joshua, DB, Kansas State
11 KC Sheffield, Cameron, DE, Troy
12 JAX Hart, Larry, DE, Central Arkansas
13 HOU McManis, Sherrick, CB, Northwestern
14 MIA Carroll, Nolan, CB, Maryland
15 SD Thomas, Cam, DT, North Carolina
16 NYG Petrus, Mitch, OG, Arkansas
17 TEN Johnson, Robert, DB, Utah
18 STL Davis, Hall, DE, Louisiana-Lafayette
19 NE Mesko, Zoltan, P, Michigan
20 PIT Scott, Chris, OT, Tennessee
21 CIN Hudson, Otis, OG, Eastern Illinois
22 JAX Lane, Austen, DE, Murray State
23 GB Quarless, Andrew, TE, Penn State
24 ARI Skelton, John, QB, Fordham
25 BAL Reed, David, WR, Utah
26 BAL Jones, Art, DT, Syracuse
27 NO Tennant, Matt, C, Boston College
28 PHI Cooper, Riley, WR, Florida
29 CLE Asante, Larry, SS, Nebraska
30 MIN Degeare, Chris, OT, Wake Forest
31 IND Eldridge, Brody, TE, Oklahoma
32 MIA Jones, Reshad, SS, Georgia
33 PIT Butler, Crezdon, CB, Clemson
34 ATL Meier, Kerry, WR, Kansas
35 PIT Sylvester, Stevenson, LB, Utah
36 MIN Triplett, Nathan, LB, Minnesota
37 SD Crompton, Jonathan, QB, Tennessee
38 GB Newhouse, Marshall, OT, TCU
I really don't even need to explain this pick. Amazing pickup for the 5th round.
Round 5 Grade: A+
Round 6: Anthony McCoy
Round 6 after McCoy:
17 CLE Geathers, Clifton, DE, South Carolina
18 HOU Smith, Shelley, OG, Colorado State
19 PIT Dwyer, Jonathan, RB, Georgia Tech
20 STL Sims, Eugene, DE, West Texas AM
21 OAK Goethel, Travis, LB, Arizona State
22 CIN Briscoe, Dezmon, WR, Kansas
23 BUF Batten, Danny, DE, South Dakota State
24 GB Starks, James, RB, Buffalo
25 BAL Harewood, Ramon, OT, Morehouse
26 PIT Brown, Antonio, WR, Central Michigan
27 DAL Wall, Jamar, CB, Texas Tech
28 HOU Holliday, Trindon, KR, LSU
29 CAR Gettis, David, WR, Baylor
30 MIN Webb, Joe, QB, UAB
31 PHI Scott, Charles, RB, LSU
32 ARI Calvin, Jorrick, DB, Troy
33 CAR Pugh, Jordan, DB, Texas A&M
34 JAX McGee, Scotty, KR, James Madison
35 CAR Pike, Tony, QB, Cincinnati
36 NE Larsen, Ted, OL, North Carolina State
37 SF Williams, Kyle, WR, Arizona State
38 TEN Rolle, Myron, SS, Florida State
We got a long term backup in McCoy who has been able to produce for us in critical times.
Round Grade: A
Round 7 Picks: Dexter Davis, Jameson Konz
The round 7 picks are all essentially people nobody knows of. These picks didn't pan out to anything, but neither did anybody elses.
Round Grade: C
Overall, I think the Seahawk's did fairly well in the 2010 draft.
