By Erik Lambert

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.

A'Shawn Robinson. 33. player. 53. <p>Seems everything has gone wrong for the Cleveland Browns this year, even on defense which is surprising given the talent they have on paper. Not even the addition of big nose tackle Danny Shelton could fix their problems against the run as the team is giving up 131 yards on the ground each week. They really do need a bigger and strong presence up front. Somebody who can team with Shelton to dissuade opponent from even considering the run.</p> <p>Defensive end is the weak point. Veterans Desmond Bryant and Randy Starks haven’t been terrible in terms of their overall play. It’s just that they haven’t been the most help at stopping the run. That is top priority for a 3-4 end, thus opening up pass rush opportunities for the linebackers.</p> <p>A’Shawn Robinson has made his name at Alabama doing the dirty work. While teammates reap the rewards of sacks and notoriety, Robinson has been the stalwart presence up front that opponents are finding almost impossible to run against. That is because he’s not only big, but powerful. Throw in a high intelligence and it’s an easy pick.</p>. DE. Alabama
