If you're going to draft a headcase...

....at least draft the position at defensive end whose job is to just destroy whoever gets in front of him. This guy seems like a guy with a chip on his shoulder....went from a somebody to someone who had to really prove something in the combine. How many guys have succeeded with this profile in Seattle?

I like the pick. Screw draft experts. Nobody can predict where a player "should be going", the only thing that matters is where he is drafted. If two teams want one player badly, one team won't get him in a "later round" because some draft pundit says so. It's smart to reach on players you like rather than miss out on those players and settle for guys you're unsure of.

Absolutely I agree, but its about value too. Seattle most likely could of had him at the end of the 3rd, Eli Harold didn't come off the board until 79 ish.

For example
Russell Wilson is the epitome of value. Seattle had him as a 1st round value, but they didn't take him until the 3rd because they knew he would be there, in the mean time they got Bruce Irvin, & Bobby Wagner.

You got to play that game, and maximize your draft value.
