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.

50. <p>Age is creeping up on the Detroit Lions’ secondary. Nowhere is that more clear than with cornerback Rashean Mathis, now in his mid-30s. There is really nobody on the depth chart ready to take over as starter opposite Darius Slay once he’s gone, never mind the possibility of regression.</p> <p>Part of what drives this pick is necessity, as the NFC North is loaded with good quarterbacks and dynamic wide receivers. To counter that a team needs more than just one or two good corners. Unless the Lions have a defensive front that is borderline unblockable, which they don’t, then that’s a position they need to address if they’re serious about getting back into the divisional picture.</p> <p>An injury hurt the stock of Kendall Fuller earlier this year but before that he was considered one of the top corner prospects in the country. Like his brother Kyle, the 14th overall pick of the Bears in 2014, he boasts a solid mixture of size (6’0″), athleticism, and toughness. He plays hard against the run, is a good tackler and has the acceleration to make up ground if a receiver gets past him.</p>. CB. Virginia Tech. Kendall Fuller. 38. player
