Mandatory Credit: Marvin Gentry-USA TODAY SportsSo the Seahawks have to address their offensive line in the first-round, but unfortunately won't get a top player at this position being in the bottom half of the draft but still an anchor who can be an anchor for this unit.We have the Seahawks selecting LSU offensive tackle Jerald Hawkins here. He is a monster of a man at 6'6" and 309 pounds. Hawkins also adds the versatility to play at either right or left tackle. With Oklahoma State product Russell Okung on the left side, Hawkins could slot in on the right side.The interior of the offensive line might be the more pressing issue, and perhaps Hawkins or current right tackle Garry Gilliam could be pushed into the guard position.The Seahawks just paid Russell Wilson to be their franchise man, and they need to keep him healthy and can't afford to let him be battered and have injuries keep him on the sideline. /

One big reason the Indianapolis Colts’ defense has given up 40+ points the past two weeks is the same problem they’ve been faced with for going on two or three years. They have no consistency in their pass rush. Some weeks they make it work and others it totally disappears. Much of that is because they have no reliable rushers who can provide regular pressure. As a team they have just 22 sacks this season. Old veteran Robert Mathis leads the way with four with others coming often via the blitz. It’s putting too much pressure on a secondary that can only do so much. Teams don’t win a lot of games if they can make the opposing quarterback uncomfortable. That is why the Colts are 6-7. It’s for that reason that they take Jordan Jenkins in the second round. While not quite the athlete his teammate Leonard Floyd is, one could say Jenkins is the more proven rusher. Despite limited size and only decent agility, the Georgia linebacker has shown excellent versatility, showing he can play on either side of the defense with the power to stop the run or deliver a fierce rush on the quarterback. Not a lot of flash to what he does. Just a good, solid football player.. OLB. Georgia. Jordan Jenkins. 44. player. 46

Next: No. 45
