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. /

Houston. William Jackson III. 61. player. 47. There are many reasons why the Bill Belichick defense has worked for so long, not only with the New England Patriots but everywhere else he’s coached since the 1980s. A big part of it has been his ability to acquire and then elevate cornerbacks to play tight, man coverage against opposing receivers. The Patriots lost a lot of the top tier talent in free agency this past off-season, including Darrelle Revis and Kyle Arrington among others. Though the team has made due with what they have, depth is becoming a concern in that secondary. Belichick is never one to pass on an opportunity to grab talent for the future. It’s part the reason why his teams continue to endure. He will love what William Jackson III brings to the table. The Houston corner has the size at 6’1″ to go along with the speed to stick with receivers downfield. What will draw him to the Patriots though is his aggressiveness. Jackson loves to play tough press coverage and has all the athleticism required for it. What he needs is refinement in his technique. Who better to fix that than Belichick?. CB
