The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread

Seattle: Okung and Thomas?

Lucky!

Opportunistic......

edit: Ok, lucky.

[Brando19]

Anyone going to be pissed if Bryant is our pick at 23?

[Tarlam!]

Pierre whatever?

[imscott72]

Another trade?

[Rastak]

Thomas to Seahawks....


Analysis
Read & React: Recognizes what's coming quickly and has the speed to get to the spot to make a play. As a safety, he was a bit overaggressive, biting on play-action and underneath routes which leaves cornerbacks on an island.

Man Coverage: Needs technique work before making the move to cornerback. Backpedal is high and slow, and lags in recovery on double moves and catching up to receivers running quick outs or square-ins. Has the speed to turn and run with receivers.

Zone Coverage: Attacks throws in front of him and has good range as a safety. Can make the interception or a big hit to separate the man from the ball. Makes quarterbacks pay for late throws over the middle, baiting them into making poor decisions. Excellent hand-eye coordination.

Closing/Recovery: Very good burst and closing speed to the ball. Wins most battles for the ball in the air. Slow to plant and drive in coverage but can close when the play is in front of him. Recovers from false steps to get back to receivers.

Run Support: Willing to support the run. Flies into the action at full speed, pounding backs in the open field. Will overpursue and fail to break down, missing tackles. Will struggle to get off receiver or lineman blocks.

Tackling: Inconsistent as a tackler in space despite good statistics. Larger receivers and tough running backs run through his tackles in space. Ends up riding big receivers for a few yards before bringing them down. A special teams force in college and will be used there in the pros.

Intangibles: Heady, hard-working player on the practice field and in the weight room. Directs secondary and knows teammates' assignments. Father Earl Thomas, Sr., is a pastor.

As it turns out, those rumors of quarterback Tim Tebow being a top-15 pick could be sort of accurate.

A team that held a top-15 pick may get him.

Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times, who is sitting a row in front of the PFT contingent at Radio City Music Hall, just said that the Broncos supposedly are sliding back with a plan to pick Florida quarterback Tim Tebow.

Not nearly quick enough....a couple years ago I think nfl.com had a page.

Pete Carrol gets a shot at Mays and takes Earl Thomas.

Hmmmm

[Sparkey]

LOL ESPN listed Jim Sorgi as a key acquisition for the Giants!

[Rastak]

Derrick Morgan here?

Saw that too!

I think the Seahawks just picked up a great player.

[Lurker64]

I would guess 'Spoon to the Giants. They really wanted McClain, but really need an MLB and ther's a lot of mediocrity after those two.
