Seahawks beat several teams to the punch, including GB?

[Patler]

After they took Irvin 15th overall, the Seahawks received a call from New York Jets headquarters. The Jets "good-naturedly"[/URL] cursed at the Seahawks for taking the guy they planned to draft one pick later, according Len Pasquarelli of the SportsXchange. Irvin also was believed to be on the short list of candidates to be drafted in Chicago, Green Bay and San Francisco. One general manager called Irvin the "hottest player in the draft."

The talking heads were surprised he went before Melvin Ingram. I suspect very few NFL GMs were.

I wonder if Tavon Wilson was on other team's radar? He went a lot higher than he was expected to. In other news, his great-great grandmother is alive and 112!

TT is Batman yo.

He has the talent but lets remember the last WVU player who went in the 1st round with character issues, as Snake would say it was PacMan yo!

Dood, you should stop using those twitter pictures of Finley as your avatar. He always looks fat and bloated in the ones you use.

This is one of the things draftniks will always be wrong on since Irvin's stock would be largely based on how his interviews went. Clearly he showed he had done some growing up and quashed any concerns about his character to NFL teams. Nobody knocked him for production and certainly not for his athleticism.

[Brandon494]

I don't care about his interviews, you give a kid with character issues a boat load of money and expect him to change his ways? Good luck with that but the guy has talent for sure.

I guess we'll see. But remember too, he's also a one-trick pony at this stage.
