08:07 AM ET 04.27 | What does Luke Kuechly have to do with Seattle's draft? When [Kuechly] went to the Carolina Panthers at No. 9, you knew the Seahawks would bail on the No. 12 pick and trade back. The problem is whom they selected at No. 15. A lot of teams didn't have LB Bruce Irvin in the first round. Some didn't have him in the second round. Pete Carroll felt having Irvin along with an additional fourth- and a sixth-round pick was better than staying at No. 12. The Seahawks would have been better served by continuing to move back and get more picks. If they are right on Irvin and his motor, great. But if they are wrong, they didn't get value back for their trade.

And my Giants pick a running back in the first round with two solid OL candidates still on the board. Not what I wanted to see.

Pete Carroll was a loser before the draft even started.

Me either, but they have a system and they stick to it. I don't think they had first round grades on the remaining OL or WR or the TEs, all areas of need. I suspect they would have preferred Martin.
George Young always said " never take your depth chart into the draft." And remember, they drafted brewer in the fourth round last year at OT and have worked a year with him. It is their way.

They were already on that list. Blaine Gabbert 2012 isn't going to change anything.

After 8 years of living in the States I'm only now starting to understand NFL draft strategies. NY does seem to value their system rather than simply trying to get the highest ranked prospect. Fascinating stuff. Rather intricate too.
I've also noticed a better dental care system here as compared to Britain, but that should not come as much of a suprise to anyone...

I was pretty certain that had the Cowboys not moved up for Claiborne they were going to take him at 14...
Great pick for you guys - another All-Pro lineman.

Wati a couple of seasons, the true loser will come out then, not a few hours after the draft.

This was a risky pick by Carroll because of Irvin's character issues, but there were bigger head scratching picks than this one last night.
THE BISHOP!

Actually the Rams were smart in trading down. They wanted Blackmon, but after Jackonville trade up to get him, the Rams thought that it was a good idea to get more draft picks in the second round. Brockers will help the Rams and the defensive line should be the strong part of their team this year.
