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.

Ohio State. Adolphus Washington. 51. player. 16. <p>Rex Ryan has never feared giving players a second chance in their football lives, especially if they have talent and ability to offer. Look at his history as a head coach and it’s replete with notable malcontents like Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards, LaRon Landry, and Sheldon Richardson among others. All seemed to excel under his watch.</p> <p>The Buffalo Bills are in a transition state. Their defense was a 4-3 for years and only now have begun the switch to a 3-4 under Ryan. It hasn’t been perfect and will take another off-season of additions before they find the right personnel to fit the scheme. One area they could use help is the defensive line, which hasn’t adapted well to their new responsibilities.</p> <p>That is why the Bills take a chance on Adolphus Washington. Despite recent run-ins with law enforcement (solicitation) he would make for a great fit in that defense. He’s got length and size to spare, making him a stout run defense and couples it with an explosive lower body, giving him good quickness off the snap and allowing him to shoot gaps and create havoc in the backfield.</p>.
