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.

Devontae Booker. 59. player. 45. <p>Gary Kubiak has had a long history of success in the NFL running his own offensive system based on stretch runs and bootlegs off play action. It works at its absolute best when it has a running back to lean on. Names like Terrell Davis and Arian Foster became stars in it.</p> <p>As it stands, the Denver Broncos really don’t have a definitive backfield option they can build around. C.J. Anderson and Ronnie Hillman have proven adequate but neither is “stallion” who can take the scheme beyond the simple design. Somebody who knows how to be the workhorse and gets stronger as the games go on.</p> <p>Devontae Booker has been that kind of player his entire time at Utah. Though strong with standout patience and vision to find and hit the holes quickly, his greatest features may be his toughness and endurance. He regularly had 25-30 carry games. Some will be scared away by injury concerns and the fact he’ll be 24 next year, but that shouldn’t deter Kubiak. who turned players into MVPs and possible Hall of Famers in little time.</p>. RB. Utah
