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. /

Will Redmond. 57. player. 36. The basis of what makes the Seattle Seahawks’ defense so tough is their secondary. They want four to five defensive backs who can run, tackle, hit and cover with the best in the NFL. History shows when the pieces are together and healthy in that system, it becomes a herculean task just to move the football, let alone score. A sore spot for them though has been filling the void left by Byron Maxwell, who departed in free agency for Philadelphia. Veteran addition Cary Williams was a colossal flop while DeShawn Shead and Jeremy Lane haven’t been all that great either. The Seahawks are never shy about continuing to load up at positions that might be deemed strong enough. They prove it again here. A torn ACL delivered a tough hit to the draft stock of Mississippi State corner Will Redmond, but that can’t overshadow how well he was playing prior to the injury. He’s a good athlete, shows keen instinct in multiple coverages and doesn’t shy away from contact. It won’t be hard at all for a good defensive coach to find a use for him,a nd the beauty is the Seahawks can afford to wait and make sure that knee is 100%. CB. Mississippi State

Next: No. 58
