Again man, Trent Williams over Bruce Campbell?

I'm 100% serious here, on WHAT ****ing planet is Trent Williams a better OT prospect than Bruce Campbell?

That being said, Gerald McCoy, and it's a no brainer. For the second year in a row, the Seahawks get the best defensive player in the entire draft. If these guys can be properly developed, that D is going to be frightening.

The Seahawks would be crazy to pass on McCoy with the #6 pick. He plays a position that needs to be upgraded, and is one of the top three talents in the draft. The only other player I could see being taken here is Berry. But I think McCoy has a better positional value, and the safeties available at their #14 and #40 pick will probably be better fits for the team than the defensive tackles in those spots. This would be a good step toward improving the defense. Now, the team needs to grab an offensive tackle, safety, running back, defensive end...oye, a lot of work to go.

They can trade for Brandon Marshall, but if they don't have time to get the ball to him, it's worthless. Trent Williams will be the pick (kind of a reach, but it's not certain he'll be there at 14)

[Walter]

Fine, Fine, Bruce Campbell is added.

Eric Berry. Most people have Suh, McCoy, and Berry as the top 3 players on their board, and Seattle ends up with 2 of them left at the 6th pick. As for the better prospect I call it a wash, as a positional value DT is above S, but Seattle has a huge need at both safety spots. With Brandon Mebane and Colin Cole I think they have more then solid starters, a McCoy Mebane combo would be sick but that means moving Mebane to the other spot and Cole and Big Red Bryant as backups which would be great but right now we have nada at safety with Babineuax barely a starter. Eric Berry fills a huge need and is a top prospect in this draft. Eric Berry to Seattle 2010!

1/12 so far

Seahawks desperate for the trenches on both sides of the ball, so only 3 possibilities here, Eric Berry, Derrick Morgan, and McCoy. BPA- Eric Berry, best position value- Derrick Morgan, and then you have Gerald McCoy. The pick is probably going to be McCoy, but if Seattle is looking for position value over prospect, then morgan in the pick.

McCoy over Berry

[TeHDruiD]

Gerald McCoy is a slam dunk here, and the pick will be at the podium in a second

[SDbucfan]

I think McCoy is the best option, he is the best player available and is an upgrade over their other DT's. Seattle also could use an upgrade on the O-Line so Bruce Campbell would also make sense with this pick. I dont think saftey is more important to fill here over one of their lines.

[ScrantonSeahawk]

the needs are many, take the best player available, may even want to trade down for more picks

[ScrantonSeahawk]

McCoy

[Colts Homer]

Obviously McCoy.

[JGatt]

I get that maybe there is need at QB and offensive line, but when youre sitting at 6, and one of the top two or three (and in this case, two have fallen) prospects fall to you, you dont hesitate. McCoy is better positional value, and while DT is uncommonly deep, safety (Berry) is even deeper. Pick is McCoy.

[piersonjrs]

im gonna say mccoy on this one. I say berry or mccoy could be the pick. But gonna go with McCoy. McCoy with Aaron Curry, any safety would have an easy job working behind these two

[piersonjrs]

I think berry or McCoy could be the pick. Im going with McCoy. Any safety will have an easy job working behind McCoy and Curry.

[vikingfan173]

The Hawks select Gerald McCoy. THE END.

[timshorts]

There are three options here:-
a) Berry. A position of great need (but then we have lots). A class act. A huge upgrade on what we have. But a safety....
b) McCoy. A posion of lesser need (when we have lots). A class act. A key position and, hopefully, the last time we get to take one of the top 3 or 4 rated talents on most boards for a few years.
c) Trade down. Yes we need a DE even more now that Tapp has gone, but we also need a CB, another RB, a WR a Guard (two of them if Sims goes as is rumoured today) probably two safeties, (a Jake Locker), a Left tackle (I am clearly putting these in the wrong order) and a third round draft pick. Can't you just see those Oakland fans sitting there with pick 8 not wanting Al Davis to move up and take McCoy? They only have 2 DT's on their roster and one of those no-one had heard of until he became (on paper) their starter last week. Only thing is, Cleveland would take Berry at 7, surely........
There is no way the Seahawks should have had a choice between these two....... It's a toss up........Bugger it. I'm going Berry (on a hunch).

Trent Williams OT Oklahoma

[Arcade]

I don't see either Morgan or Pierre-Paul as top 6 prospects, and I doubt anyone in the Seahawks organisation does either. C.J. Spiller will either be available at 14, or will bust horribly in San Francisco. Trent Williams is not a top 6 prospect and will be available at 14 if Spiller isn't. The 49ers are almost surely taking one of the tw. I think Campbell's combine performance actually lowers his stock, as people looked back and saw things they didn't like(at least from what I've heard).

Bryant is an option, but why would the Seahawks go WR now, when they could have taken Crabtree last season and have bigger needs across the board and better prospects?

The only real considerations should be McCoy and Berry. We don't know what John Schneider looks for. What we do know is that, while officially Pete Carroll isn't head of football operations, he still has quite a bit of say. We still know only a slight amount of what Carroll looks for in a prospect, but I believe he sticks to his board, and takes Berry.


This all of course barring a trade-down.

What are you talking about?

[ChiBears56]

Pete Carrol would like to see Bradford or Clausen drop to him at the #6 pick, but the recent signing of Derek Anderson shows that Carrol isn't looking for his franchise quarterback in this draft. I think that Carrol will decide to go with the best player available, and that guy is Eric Berry. A great recommendation form Lane Kiffin will secure the pick.

We didn't sing Derek Anderson.

You said that, and at the time Williams had 1 vote out of 12

[mycarman]

Seattle's prize for having a bad season? A brand new 2010 GMC (Gerald McCoy) Truck of a defensive tackle.

[piazzajordan2]

Oh. Cool.

[pheltzbahr]

McCoy and the pick will be in Goodell's hand before he finishes announcing, "The Seattle Seahawks are on the clo...oh. With the sixth pick..."

[PSUShenanigans]

You can't go wrong with Berry or McCoy for Seattle but since this draft is deep at safety and now only having a pick at 14 and a low 2nd in the first 3 rounds, McCoy is the guy.

[Red-headed step-child]

Eric Berry. Him and McCoy are the most talented players available, but Berry fills a bigger need than McCoy.

[Professor]

Saying that Detroit takes Okung, then McCoy is a no brainer.
