What would you do with draft #'s 12, 43, and 76?

SEA's '12 Draft:
1-12: North Carolina's DE Quinton Coples (6-6/284) 4.76-40
Although the offense has more total needs than the defense, the defense needs a pass-rusher more than any particular position on the offense (except possibly QB if Flynn doesn't outperform T.Jax as expected) and that need (pass-rush) will only increase with time. The Leo/Elephant has potential replacement players on the roster already, but the prior performances of the DL UFAs brought in so far to replace R.Brock doesn't suggest PC/JS've solved the 3rd dn LDE pass-rush problems yet. Typically, the 1st year for a pass-rusher in the NFL is alot like his college freshman year in production, then he slowly improves year by year. Coples is iffy effort-wise but has the potential to become a Julius Peppers for the Hawks if he's there at 12. SEA could get back to 50+ sacks in 2-3 years if PC can motivate Coples to play hard when he's in. Coples could also spell Clemmons on the right side.

2-11: Michigan State's DT Jerel Worthy (6-2/308) 5.04-40
With Mebane back at the 1-tech and Alan Branch stopping the run at the 3-tech, SEA still needs to get more pressure from the 3-tech. Worthy has shown a relentless motor and has the ability to get pressure on the passer. We don't have to get sacks but collapsing the pocket while pressuring the QB could improve our DBs interceptions.

3-12: Iowa's WR Marvin McNutt (6-3/245) 4.48-40
He's coming off a shoulder injury so I'm hoping he'll be there at this pick. He's a younger/faster BMW with great hands and straight-line speed but not much elusiveness. I'd like for Flynn to have 3-4 really good/great receivers throughout the season, so have 5-6 really good/great receivers make the team to have enough skill players here to cover injuries during the season, and not have to field players who can't remember their routes.

4-11: Missouri's TE Michael Egnew (6-5/252) 4.58-40
Rob Rang mentioned him as a kinda hidden gem, so he may not last this long. I was hoping.

NO 5TH RD!!! Dang, this is usually the round that PC/JS get us some really excellent players.

6-11: Tennessee's RB Tauren Poole (5-10/205) 4.54-40
Poole's '10 stats may be better than his '11 stats, but his game vs Oregon showed he just couldn't be stopped. Balance, elusiveness, strength, toughness, good receiver, doesn't fumble, nose for the goalline and 1st dn, 5.1 yds/carry, etc.

7-18: Miami's OLB-DE Olivier Vernon (6-2/261) 4.77-40
Weakside pass-rusher to replace Clemmons if SEA loses him next offseason.

Haven't heard about draft-able linebackers visiting Seattle or if they went to any Pro days. Anybody know?

Ok, with all the shifting around I'm going to take another run at this:
12 - Kuechly (please please please) or Melvin Ingram OLB/DE
43 - Shea McClellin OLB/DE or Lamar Miller RB
75 - Mychal Mendricks ILB, Billy Winn OLB/DE or Casey Heyward CB

[mthawks]

Ok, for my official prognotstication that hopefully will last through at least the second round, I drafted as if Seattle didn't do any trades. Here is what I come up with for picks.
12) Melvin Ingram - Can be used as a DE or OLB. Look for him to play a lot of OLB on first down. Slide Red in on passing downs to play DT and let Ingram put his hand on the ground opposite of Clem.
43) Zack Brown - Athletic OLB, Will be a good pick up here if he is still around.
75) Kirk Cousins - QB with moxy and a proven leader. If he drops this far, say bye bye TJack.
106) Chris Polk - He is a bigger back that can give Lynch a break. As much as I like Forsett, the offense needs to move with a beast mode back.
181) Donnie Fletcher - Not super fluid in his hips, but hits a ton, pretty fast, good special teamer.
225) Chase Ford - Last couple of years, they seem to draft a TE around here. Big and and good blocker, use on the dual TE sets where a blocking TE.

I am hoping for a 50% draft grade, but who knows, knowing Seattle we will trade to get a fifth round pick.

Now that it's Draft Day Eve, I'm going to take another stab at this.

I'm calling my shot here. The Hawks will trade the 12th pick. They're in a perfect position to trade. Mark Barron the Safety out of Alabama is a player that is high on a lot of teams boards and he should fall to the 12th pick. The Hawks don't need another Safety, but they could use some extra picks in next years draft If the Hawks trade back I see them coming away with Dont'a Hightower ILB at the end of the first round and should get some nice picks in next years draft to boot.
2nd pick- one of these three DE could easily fall to them- Chandler Jones, Andre Branch or Vinny Curry.
3rd pick- LaMichael James or Chris Polk one of these two RB's should be on the board here.
4th pick Vontaze Burfict. Alot of people are down on him right now but at the end of last season he had a low first round grade because of how he played on the feild. I think Burfict would be a steal as a fourth round pick.

Luke Kuechly MLB - 1
Coby Fleener TE - 2 This is dreaming a little but if he isn't there then Nick Perry
Chris Polk HB - 3
Keenan Robinson OLB - 4 Texas (reunite him with Thomas, team chemistry, and add depth to OLB)
Robert Blanton CB - 6
Kellen Moore QB - 7

[mthawks]

Do you really think that Kellen Moore will drop to the 7th round? I have him going in the 5th. I really think that is a stretch, someone will pick him up.

[AKHawk]

One can dream can they not? :P

[osprey3263]

The seahawks have to come away this draft with a pass rushing DE. another inside middle line backer,another running back to play with Marshawn and pack a 1 2 punch another offensive linemen. a tight end. a surprise or two

Some stretch predicting him as a 7th round pick eh buddy?
