Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

    SEA badly needs both Baker and King.

    I'd be thrilled if they get either. Which basically means King. Hawks aren't getting Budda.

    SEA badly needs offensive linemen.

    They do but their defense slipping is a big problem. The depth in the secondary is horrible too. They need an impact player on D more than an average OL.

    If they draft an average OL in the first round, fire everyone.

    well, they keep drafting below-average OL early, then waiting 2 or 3 years for development. I would love to see them grab something like Ramczyk in the 1st, King in the 2nd, then trade back into the second with a comp pick for Baker. Give Budda a year of learning behind one of the greats at the position (Thomas) and 10 pounds, and he will be an elite NFL safety.

    Pair King with Sherman, and you have an elite CB duo.

    Not to turn this into a NFL bored. But from my (distant, ambivalent) perspective, SEA has a lot stronger core of young players at OL than in the secondary.

    Imho after a pass rush there is nothing better to have on defense than a hall of fame safety. Ed Reed, Polamalu and Earl Thomas all spent their careers on top tier defenses and that's not a coincidence. Bob Sanders, mentioned in this thread, was a guy that when healthy those Colts defenses were very good and when he was out they sucked.

    I don't know if Baker can be that good but if there's a chance he should go in the first.
