We've reached a fever pitch about who the Seattle Seahawks might choose with the No. 4 pick in the NFL Draft. It's crazier than a rat in a tin sh*t house and I'm pretty much loving every moment.
There's a dearth of information out there about prospective draft picks. Forgive me if I don't go all Sanchez all the time, but there's too much of it and there?s no way the Hawks pick him. Right? Here?s some reading material about guys not named Sanchez in preparation for your Saturday afternoon in front of the television. Take it easy on the cheese doodles:
Aaron Curry, LB, Wake Forest
Rob Rang of NFLDraftScout.com says Aaron Curry will not be the first defensive player drafted and my head just exploded. Defensive end Tyson Jackson is going to be the guy, he says (more on Jackson below).
Danny O?Neil at the Seattle Times posts some video on his blog of Curry hurting people and a short scouting blurb. Also included is Mark ?The Second Coming? Sanchez and busted up wide receiver Michael Crabtree.
Beanie Wells, RB, Ohio State
Nope, not kidding at all. Chad Reuter likes Seattle to pick up the running back from Ohio State. In the first round, not the second.
Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU
Matt Bowen of NationalFootballPost.com says former LSU defensive end Tyson Jackson?s stock is rising. Even if Aaron Curry is still on the board when the Hawks pick, it?s not impossible that the Seahawks take Jackson. Later on in the same post, Bowen opines about Redskins owner Daniel Snyder?s man crush on Mark Sanchez.
Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State
Field Gulls tries to get into Seattle GM Tim Ruskell?s head and makes a strong case for Jenkins. It totally makes sense until I get talked into something else a few minutes later.
Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
The Sporting News? scouting report on Michael Crabtree. At the bottom of the page is a video by Pro Football Talk, which predicts Crabtree falls to No. 7 with the Raiders or possibly out of the Top 10 due to concerns about his character and attitude.
Matt Bowen looks at the hurdles rookie wide receivers face in the NFL thinks taking Crabtree in the top 10 would be a mistake.
Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia
The New York Times NFL blog likes Eugene Monroe with Seattle?s No. 4 pick.
Seahawks General
Clark Judge at CBSSports.com says Seattle?s pick at No. 4 will set the tone for the rest of the draft.
Pro Football Weekly runs some quotes from unnamed team executives. There are some nuggets in there about whether the Hawks go with Curry or Sanchez.
