WTF? IIRC Eldrenkamp did start out on D, although it would be a chinteresting decision to try and switch this late in the game to be a 297lb white outside linebacker in the NFL. But heaven knows the UW athletic department's social media group is a fine tuned machine that would never make a mistake.

Jones - Round 2, Pick #63, Seattle (pick obtained from Sherman trade)
Qualls - Round #3, Pick #94, Steelers
Mathis - Round #6, Pick #211, Dallas
Daniels - Round #7, Pick #239, New England
Can't decide whether this is Doog POTD or Hook POTD, but either way, I *heart* this and hope it happens.
It's really neither ... it's what I would do if I was the Hawk GM
This team is in transition and IMO this group has seen its window to winning the Super Bowl dramatically narrow ... the division as a whole sucks so there is room to rebuild on the fly ...
The picks kinda build on the other ... I don't think we move Sherman if we don't get King to replace ... if that happens I could see us move Sherman to ensure Budda as he's the LT replacement to Earl who could be gone at any point ... but great slot option. Getting the 2nd from Atlanta allows us to "reach" on Jones a half round earlier than most would.
The other big need for us is on the OL ... but I don't think I would really trust anybody in this draft and think the 2nd or 3rd round guys are just as likely to be as good

I guess it's HPOTD because there's no way Sherman gets a 1st and a 2nd back. If they could get that for him they would have already dealt him IMO.

Only thing is, the draft seems stacked at CB. The Colorado guys are good, especially Witherspoon. Florida has a few guys. One or more of them will be available in the 2nd.
It's not as good for OL (at least by what they say) so if they really like Lamp or Bolles, you have to take them in the first.
It's hard to predict. I would be surprised if the first pick by the Seahawks isn't a CB or OL.

Agreed. The only possible exception to me would be if they went safety with Melifonwu or maaaaaybe Peppers. IMO the pick is going to be King, Bolles, Lamp, Melifonwu or trade down. And if two or three of those guys are still on the bored it could be trade down and hope you still get one of them.

Revis was the undisputed best corner in the league when he was dealt. And that deal turned out awful for TB.
Sherman is more an undisputed top 5 corner but not the clear #1. And Seattle has made it clear they want to deal him which doesn't help his trade value.

Peppers would be a strange pick because the Seahawks already signed Tampa Bay's starting safety from last year.
I like Lamp ... not huge on Bolles (inside guy in NFL to me)
The UConn S I think is getting bid up because of size/speed combo ... not sure if he is as physical as his size says.
Also, fair or unfair, I'm not a huge fan of players from loser programs that aren't used to playing with expectations ... UConn sucks
I love Bolles. Total stud IMO. My only concern is that he won't have a long career because he'll be 25 before the season starts. I like Utah's guard Asiata or whatever his name is too.
The expectations thing isn't unfair, it's just dumb. You limit yourself to elite programs you eliminate a ton of talent from your pool.

I agree, I just know the Hawks love versatility and he's a guy who could play a number of positions for them.

Could argue that we would get another pick from ATL in that scenario
