This guy fits want the FO looks for in CBs so I have no problem with it. For those that are upset at the pick, was there some amazing prospect out there this late in the draft that you wanted?

Easily could have had this guy with either sixth round pick if not our seventh.
I dont want this to come off like a personal attack especially since Ive heard this kind of talk a lot but do you realize how short-sighted this post makes you look? Think about the hundreds of hours P&J and the other guys in the organization spend on analyzing each potential draft selection and the market that exists for each players they wish to select. Now also just think of the inner workings of the draft, with GMs wheeling and dealing and always trying to avoid revealing who they are going to select. We as fans are the last to hear anything; we are the polar opposite of people in "the know". We simply hear what the media wants to tell us. So with the astronomically small amount of info you actually know, you going to try to bitch and say P&J should have waited to select there guy later? Really?
And that's just it, key word in your post is "SEAHAWJS SPECIFIC BOARD" Which is why I care less about where a guy is rated "league wide" and more how they fit on the Hawks team.McGruff":1qvo3xvz said:SalishHawkFan":1qvo3xvz said:The guy was projected to go undrafted. There is no reason to think he was suddenly a hot commodity out of Towson. Wonder why the Hawks grabbed him now instead of later?
I had him on my perosnal seahawks specific board asa 4th rounder.hes a steal in the 5th.
so far my board has clark as an early 2nd, lockett as a 4th, poole as a 5th, Glowinski as a 2nd and Smith at a 4th.
They could have easily signed him as an UDFA? You know this because you've talked to him? He was going to turn down other teams just to come to Seattle? That's some loyalty!Natethegreat":2kwq89li said:therealjohncarlson":2kwq89li said:Natethegreat":2kwq89li said:I get that we pick who we like and we have certain traits we look for and a belief we can make something out of them but every freaking year we way over reach to get a lot of these guys.

I was perplexed by this fifth round pick last year as well. Massive reach on a guy they could have easily signed as a free agent. Didn't show much last year but maybe he shows something this year who knows. I just find it odd with how often we reach for guys. I am not at all saying I wish they weren't on our team just leaves me scratching my head why we use draft capital on them. Especially when we have two sixth round selections coming up and seventh as well.

But in another note, this is the fourth area of need everyone here said we needed to address, and low and behold, we did.

You clearly stated he was a guy they could have easily gotten as a free agent. ClearlyNatethegreat":3k0fdf4j said:I clearly stated we had two sixth round and a seventh we could have used. Meanwhile Michael Bennet is snapped up by Jacksonville a few picks later.
