Daniel Jeremiah has Danny going #9 to the NY Giants in the first round.
Danny Shelton
- Thread starter DerekJohnson
- Start date
I thought the story would be that he's moving back to Hawaii.
Walter Football has him going #12 to the Browns. Their other draft guy has going #14 to the Dolphins.

Either way, it'll be interesting.

Ive seen #12 to the Browms in a couple mocks including Kiper's. Shaq's usually in the mid teens and Peters in the high teens/low 20's.
I still think Peters ends up in the second round and is the most likely of the bunch to be a Seahawk. If Kikikakahaha somehow slips to the third I could see him as a hook also.
If those locks are accurate (I know, they're not) then Shaq is going to go a bit too high IMO. Shelton's absolutely worth a spot in the 6-12 range.

I think Shaq and Shelton are too high. Both will be fine pros, but nothing too special. Peters will be a Pro Bowler if he keeps it together. I'm not sure about Kikaha, but I think he will be a good value for the third round.
Can Shelton get to the QB though? He only had two sacks in Pac 12 play. I think he's a really good player, but he's a run stuffing DT, most likely a NT in a 3-4. I think the importance of those guys has decreased in the passing era of the NFL.
He could also be used to clog up the A gap vs. DeMarco Murray.

I saw something yesterday that said the Bears are high on Danny at #7. I agree that run stuffing NTs aren't as valuable as they used to be, but Shelton is no Vince Wilfork. His motor is incredible, and he covers more ground than most DTs I've ever seen. If he drops 20-30lbs he could be an absolute terror as a 3 tech.

My sources (twitter) say he's been killing it at Senior Bowl practices this week. I could easily see him going in the top 10, but definitely top 15.

Shelton doesn't need to rush the passer to be successful, he's special in the run game just based on his pursuit and sideline to sideline speed at his size.
Kikaha is the kind of player that can/will make himself good through work.
Peters as a hawk would be a hook wet dream of mine.

Peters replacing Maxwell would be amazing. The Seahawks already have experience with players who choke coaches as well (Harvin), so this could be a good fit. About Shelton, I think the running game is becoming important again. Everything ebbs and flows in the NFL and you are now seeing the elite QB's depend on their running game more (Green Bay with Lacy, New Orleans with Ingram, NE with whoever the fuck they sign off the street).

Dallas organization has drafted several Boise players. They talk about how much they like those guys, so it would not surprise me to see them draft one of the UW players if Petersen and staff give a positive review on them.
Here is the article about the Cowboys love of the Boise program: dallasnews.com/sports/dallas-cowboys/headlines/20140518-demarcus-lawrence-latest-link-in-unlikely-connection-between-cowboys-and-boise-state.ece
Quote pulled from it:
“We like Boise guys,” head coach Jason Garrett said. “We always take a hard look at where the player has played, what kind of program [it is] and what that program is all about. They do a great job up there. It’s a very competitive program. The players that come out of there compete; they play hard. We’ve got two of them.”

That would have been some awesome FREE PUB! for Peterman if it hadn't come from a loser like Jason Garrett.

I don't see an organization that values character as much as the Hawks do drafting a guy that is seemingly not dependable like Peters given the cost that they would have to pay to get him.
One guy I would love to see them get is Tyler Lockette from KState - has a lot of similar attributes to Golden Tate IMO

You have the current Seahawks regime confused with Ruskell. Simon was arrested days before the draft and the Seahawks picked him up. They love Lynch. They gave up a lot for Harvin. Bruce Irvin was pretty damn edgy coming out of college. They take chances on talent.

They believe in giving second chances and not necessarily looking at the past as an indicator provided that the player has proved it.
They've also proven that when you have a player that doesn't 100% buy into what they are doing as a team and organization they send his ass to the curb faster than you can say Percy Harvin.
My sense is that Peters has never been team first, edge second. I'd be surprised if he ended up a Seahawk. There are far safer options that they can go after in the same draft range.
Plus, I expect that the Hawks are going to rebuild a lot of their offense this offseason. They have pretty much signed their entire defense. They need to look at rebuilding parts of their OL as well as finding another option at TE and WR.
