Initial Thoughts
First off, if there's one thing you can predict about the Seahawks and the draft is how unpredictable they can be. So there's that. Secondly, the Seahawks love their draft picks, and it has been well speculated that if the opportunity arises the Seahawks might well consider trading their 1st round pick (the 32nd pick) to a team looking to move back into the 1st round to put themselves back into position to possibly draft, say, a QB. For the Seahawks to do this they'd have to:
a) not be in love with a particular player that is available to them with the 32nd pick
b) get back a combination of draft picks (2nd rounder plus a later rounder...3rd, 4th...I don't know)
Practically no one has the Seahawks trading up in the draft to get a player they might covet. If they do that, they will again have surprised us all. But I just don't see that happening in such a deeply talented draft pool.
What is particularly interesting about this draft is that it seems to be heavily weighted in the very positions the Hawks are looking to shore up, that being WR and OLmen. The latest buzz has certain draft "experts" speculating that the Hawks might well be interested in these WR's and OLmen with the 32nd pick:
WR
--Cody Latimer (one of the rising players in the draft; fits what you think they'd want in a WR)
--Donte Moncrief (spoken as someone who might fit Hawks WR mold)
--Kelvin Benjamin (stock falling a bit, but still a tempting physical specimen)
--Allen Robinson (this one seems less likely to me at 32 from what I've read)
OLmen
--Xavier Su'a-Filo (projects as OG though played OT his last year at UCLA)
--Joel Bitonio (OT/OG rising prospect on draft boards; possible Breno/Carpenter replacement)
Of course this is all pure idle speculation, but this is what I seem to have gathered from my collective readings of the draft tea-leaves so far as concerns our 32nd pick. The WR's mentioned all have the bigger size that you'd think the Hawks would be looking for. Again, Cody Latimer (if you're to put any stock in such speculations) is the guy that seems to be generating the most Seahawk buzz of late.
As concerns the OL (assuming that no other real blue-chip OLman falls to us at #32), these two guys seem to be generating the most Seahawk buzz of late as possible picks at the 32nd spot in the draft.
The wildcard positional pick for the Hawks at #32 seems to be DLman. This is the name that seems to have come up the most when considering potential availability at the 32nd spot:
DLmen
--Ra'Shede Hageman
The buzz about Hageman is that he's one of those huge 5-tech linemen who could potentially play either DT or DE for the Hawks much like Red Bryant did. Who knows?
I guess you could possibly envision the Hawks drafting a TE in the 2nd round (especially if we trade down and then find ourselves with two 2nd round picks). Austen Sefarian-Jenkins comes to mind, but what do I know?
I must say that I'd love to see us draft a WR and OLman with our first two picks, be it our 1st and 2nd round pick at present, or be it with both our 2nd round picks assuming we trade out of the 1st round.
As for the rest of the draft? Who the hell knows, other than we probably won't see them drafting a QB or RB, or so it seems at present.
That's my take from all I've gathered at present.
Any thoughts of your own?
