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.

South Carolina. Pharoh Cooper. 60. player. 56. <p>Nothing changes for the Cincinnati Bengals. Andy Dalton was having a career year prior to his unfortunate thumb injury, but a big reason why he’s been able to have such success (two Pro Bowls, four playoff appearances) is because the team put quality receiving targets around him.</p> <p>Looking ahead to next year, two key wide receivers, Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones, are set to become free agents. If even one of them gets away, it would leave a distinct hole in the passing game that will need filling. The last thing they want is for opponents to be able to concentrate on stopping A.J. Green.</p> <p>One thing the Bengals have grown attracted to is receivers who do multiple things well on the football field. That is the strength of Pharoh Cooper’s game. His quickness and agility will serve as returner possibilities, while his steady hands and body control enable him to make difficult catches. Cooper is the type of weapon that can be moved around, creating match-ups all over the field. All it takes is getting the ball in his hands.</p>. WR
