It has been more than a month since the Super Bowl and that’s enough time to let talk of the NFL rest. So what’s next? The April 26 draft.
Talking Points looked at a plethora of mock drafts, all of which agreed Andrew Luck goes No. 1 to Indianapolis. Then most split over whether the Redskins or Browns trade the farm for St. Louis’ No. 2 pick and the chance to take Robert Griffin III of Baylor.
Who will the Seahawks get at No. 12? Not a single name came up twice when projecting the Seahawks’ selections. Among the potential picks mentioned were: Luke Kuechly, inside linebacker, Boston College; Andre Branch, defensive end, Clemson; David DeCastron, guard, Stanford; Ryan Tannehill, quarterback, Texas A&M; Lamar Miller, running back, Miami; Zach Brown, outside linebacker, North Carolina; and Trent Richardson, running back, Alabama.
Kuechly is considered the top inside LB in the draft. Branch looked great at the NFL combine and helps with Seattle’s weak pass rush. Tannehill is not considered a “plug-and-play’’ QB, but has the tools and mentality to be good in the NFL in time. Miller showed blazing speed at the combine.
