| Seattle Wants to Trade Down from #14? Posted: 22 Apr 2010 05:14 AM PDT According to Danny O’Neil of the Seattle Times, the Seahawks would like to trade down from their 14th overall selection in tonight’s N.F.L. Draft. The news came out of a mock draft the beat writer did for his newspaper:
If Seattle does trade back, the team could still possibly pick up every-down-back Ryan Mathews before a team like Houston does at pick number 20. Or the team could skip running back in the early rounds or altogether and stick with what it already has in Julius Jones and Justin Forsett. Yet another idea is that Seattle could be eyeing up a running back in next year’s Draft, one like Alabama’s Mark Ingram.

| 2010 Sports Gab Network editors NFL Mock Draft Posted: 21 Apr 2010 08:12 PM PDT The editors at the Sports Gab Network have put together their own 2010 NFL Mock Draft, and here are the first 16 picks: 16. Tennessee Titans- DE Jason Pierre-Paul, South Florida |
| Jets ready to move Vernon Gholston to the D-Line? Posted: 21 Apr 2010 07:53 PM PDT Rich Cimini, now of ESPNNewYork, reports that the Jets have been using Vernon Gholston exclusively at defensive end during offseason workouts.
The former sixth overall pick has yet to record a sack in his two seasons and is well on his way to being one of the biggest busts of all time. At only 264 pounds, Gholston will need to severely bulk up in order for the transition to be successful. With the lack of promise he's shown so far I'm not crossing my fingers. |
| Debate continues around the Eagles first draft pick Posted: 21 Apr 2010 07:52 PM PDT
Even with the Eagles schedule being released yesterday, the majority of the talk you hear about the team right now is draft related. Although the offseason was filled with cries of defense, defense, defense, there are still debates on whether or not that is going to be where the Eagles will spend their first pick (wherever that may be). Although I am convinced the Eagles will use their first selection on a defensive back, there are many who believe the Eagles need to find a top-notch interior lineman. The only reason this is even being discussed is due to the injury that Jamaal Jackson sustained towards the end of the season last year. It's unlikely that he'll be ready for the season opener, so the big question is who will fill that spot. Right now, Nick Cole is the starter but there will definitely be a competition at Training Camp this year. Mike McGlynn is the primary threat to overtake Cole while others will compete for the spot as well. There is only one clear cut first round center in this class and that's Maurkice Pouncey out of Florida. He's more of a mid to late first rounder so the Eagles might have a crack at him if they were to stay with the 24th overall selection. However, if they trade up for someone else and don't pick again until 37th I don't think he'll be around anymore. According to PFT's list of players who visited the Eagles, Pouncey did not visit. This list is "unofficial" but I'm not sure how his visit would go unheard. Just because he may not have visited doesn't mean the Eagles aren't interested. Center is definitely a big need for them and I'm sure they will draft one. However, center's are not typically drafted high so I think they could pick up a fairly solid player in the second or third round. Do you think the Eagles should try to get Maurkice Pouncey? |

| Pete Carroll Tweeting Seattle’s Blueprint for the 2010 N.F.L. Draft Posted: 21 Apr 2010 05:11 PM PDT Call him the savior, the lame duck, the newest head coach, but whatever you do, don’t call Pete Carroll uninteresting. Throughout the day today Carroll has been reaching out to Seahawks fans and the media via his Twitter with hints regarding what his team will do starting Thursday in the N.F.L. Draft. His hints have been songs from famous artists and groups. So far here’s what he’s posted: So Seahawks fans, who is Seattle drafting with its nine picks during the 2010 N.F.L. Draft?

| Could Rams Trade Down from #1? Teams are Calling in… Posted: 21 Apr 2010 04:50 PM PDT From the Twitterof ESPN’s Rachel Nichols, 10 teams reached out to the St. Louis Rams today regarding the first overall selection in Thursday’s first round of the N.F.L. Draft; however, she also reports none of the 10 inquiring teams were interested enough yet to go into specifics of a deal with St. Louis.

| Schefter: Steelers have Contacted Seahawks about Roethlisberger Posted: 21 Apr 2010 04:22 PM PDT Per the Twitter of ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Seattle has now been drug into the Ben Roethlisberger trade rumor frenzy. According to the analyst, the Steelers have called the Seahawks, among other teams, regarding a deal that would send Pittsburgh’s two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback to a team with a top-10 selection in Thursday’s first round of the N.F.L. Draft. If Seattle pulls the trigger on such a deal, I’ll officially stop being a journalist and I’ll instead take up a profession in musical theater. |
