2010 NFL Draft + Seahawks Redemption

Three days, 255 picks, 32 teams: All in one NFL Draft. If football was a religion, such as Christianity, then this is the draft is Easter. Thursday marks the first day of the draft and the first 32 picks.

The NFL has recently switched to the three day format, (Round one on Thursday, Rounds two & three on Friday and four through seven on Saturday.) This is really an attempt to turn the draft into a bigger event. Without a doubt, the Super Bowl is the NFL's biggest event, but it appears that they are trying to make the draft the second biggest. I wonder if companies will spend millions on ad space like they do for the Super Bowl. I hope not.

SEATTLE:I am a Seattle fan. The Seahawks have made many moves that have made me cringe in recent years. I am on board with the idea of Pete Carroll being the coach for Seattle. I just don't think that we should expect much from him during his first year in the league. I mean, college coaching is as much as about recruiting players as it is coaching them. So, let's hope that Carroll can make the adjustment to the NFL that Seattle needs him to make. I like having Carroll helping making decisions in the Draft will help Seattle immensely. Seattle has the #6 and 14 overall picks. Where does Seattle need help...Better question: Where doesn't Seattle need help...? We need some offensive linemen that will mimic the mid-2000's teams'.

There are a number of good choices that Seattle can make in that department: Russell Okung(above,) OT, from Oklahoma State would be an excellent choice if he is still around for the Seahawks to pick at #6. Bryan Bugala, OT, Iowa would also bring some force to the line. Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma would be another excellent choice. All three of these guys are first rounders for sure...but the question is, are they top 10 worthy.

With the Seahawks second pick on day on, I would like to see them go with either a RB or QB. Colt McCoy, QB, Texas is my favorite for the Seahawks to take, but I doubt they will take him in the first round. McCoy is probably not first round worthy. If he is available in the second round for the Seahawks to take, I really hope they grab him. Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame would also be an interesting choice. I think Clausen might be the Seahawks pick...but again, is he first round worthy? C.J. Spiller(above,) RB, Clemson is bar none the best back in this draft. The more pressing question is... Will he be around for the Seahawks to draft at #14. If he is then the Seahawks have to grab him.
