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.

31. <p>Running the football is a New York Giants tradition that dates back decades. They’ve always been able to do it but for some reason its been a struggle the past couple years. The last time the franchise had a 1,000-yard rusher was 2012. That speaks to both bad blocking but also lack of talent at running back.</p> <p>Steadily the team has gone from somebody like Tiki Barber to Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw to Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams. Though having some nice qualities, neither of those players have proven to have the complete package for making a legitimate three-down workhorse back.</p> <p>That would change with C.J. Prosise. Buzz has picked up on this kid since he became the starter for the Irish. Though raw in several areas, he showcases the kind of size, athleticism and burst pro teams pine for from that position. He can be a decisive runner with good vision and a nose for the end zone along with capable hands for catching the ball out of the backfield. A complete back with high potential.</p>. RB. Notre Dame. C.J. Prosise. 52. player
