funny thing is, if I had the ability to look into the future and post the entire first round right now.......most would say it would be unrealistic.

As far as Seattle, If Smith and Monroe are gone I would rather they took Oher than Stafford, Sanchez, Crabtree, Curry, Orapko, Raji, etc... if they weren't able to trade back to a spot where they were guaranteed Oher
Better to reach a little to make sure you get the guy you want/need than to miss out because it is too early

Looking at that list they should not have too much trouble moving back 4/6 slots

I've seen on a couple 'Hawk sites where they have some people checking out Sanchez. I've also seen where they feel he'd be better for Seattles West Coast system than Stafford. Please tell me this is just smokescreen

I've actually heard that rumor as well guys. But I heard that the Hawks were looking to trade back a few spots, perhaps grab a vet OT from a team that desperately wants to move up, then they'll grab Sanchez.
Personally, not sure which team is THAT desperate to move up to that pick. Unless they're freaking Hell-bent on getting Aaron Curry.

Great pick, jmsmith1. Very, very realistic choice IMO.

:hmmm: I have not seen that rumour but it adds up. Ruskell has his players (3/4 years worth) and his coaches in place. There is a fair amount of chatter that this is a make or break year for him. Getting a short term OT they could use right away might show enough improvement for him to keep his job. Gawd I hope not
:scared:

LMFAO! I completely agree with what I think you're trying to say duk. If you got an OT at the top of the 2nd, the talent level between them and a top of the 1st guy, is closer than lets say Sanchez and Josh Freeman (or the field).
So, they select Sanchez, then William Beatty, OT, Connecticut; or Phil Loadholt, OT, Oklahoma with their 2nd round pick?

Yes, But now you have to choose between Center/Guard and Tackle/Guard. Seattle needs both in the worst way

Oh, I almost forgot about Guard. You guys could go Sanchez with the first pick, and wait until the 2nd round to get the TOP ranked guard in this draft: Duke Robinson
He's awesome. I wrote the NFL Impact for Duke
Then, in the 3rd round, you could select the 9-10th ranked OT in the draft, Gerald Cadogan, Penn St. Not bad numbers whatsoever and what I like about this guy, he's smart and committed. He's known very well for his Academic success as well as his on-the-field production. He helped the lions to 1,000 yard season on the ground.

LOL, To bad you guys can't use me on your fantasy fishing teams. I'm just under 200lbs and it looks like I bite on everything
Ya that might work but now they don't get the center or the RB they need until 4th round or later. And we know TR loves to draft defensive guys. When will he grab a LB or Safety ??

in a way, yeah, i took him because he was there . . . the titans really do need more talent at wr though . . . they picked up nate washington in fa and have a couple younger guys that are coming off of injuries that have yet to show what they can do for the team, but putting harvin in the slot would really open up this offense, imho . . . honestly though, i'd rather see a slightly bigger guy on the titans, like robiskie, maybe . . . they'd probably have to move up in the 2nd to get him though . . .
on the other point, the value at ilb after the top 2 are gone is more towards the titans 2nd rnd pick and the value isn't really there for the 4-3 de's that might be available . . . i won't mention names, but there are 2 notables at de, but work ethic and experience have me shying away from them as prospects with this pick . . . the 3-4 tweeners aren't a really good option for this team either . . .

With Monroe and Wood that rejuvinates the the O Line that has declined and been ignored during Ruskells term so far in Seattle
Might have been a little early for Wood, but no way he would still be there for the 3rd rd pick
