Oct 18, 2014; Tuscaloosa, AL, USA; Alabama Crimson Tide defensive lineman A'Shawn Robinson (86) puts the pressure on Texas A&M Aggies quarterback Kenny Hill (7) at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Crimson Tide defeated the Aggies 59-0. 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.

player. 35. <p>Getting their quarterback more blocking was a priority for the Tennessee Titans and that goal was accomplished. Next on the agenda is figuring out what ails their defense. It’s a unit that is good in some areas like defending the pass (9th overall) but is still allowing 25 points per game and is soft against the run at 111.5 yards per game.</p> <p>One area that has caused problems is safety. While free agent addition Da’Norris Searcy has lived up to his contract thus far, fellow starter Michael Griffin continues to remain a problem. He has struggled in coverage and missed 11 tackles as well. If there was a spot needing an upgrade, it’s his.</p> <p>That is why is terrific fortune the Titans have Clemson safety Jayron Kearse falling into their lap. His talent and production in college would indicate he should’ve gone in the first round but he somehow fell through. A fierce hitter with corner-type speed, he sports a long 6’4″ frame that makes him a difficult target to throw at in coverage. Taking the ball away is fast becoming his specialty. If Tennessee can help him clean up his fundamental issues, they’ll have a possible star in the making.</p>. S. Clemson. Jayron Kearse. 32
