The very second that I knew I would be GM for the Seahawks CJ Spiller was a no brainer choice at number 6. There was no doubt in my mind that Berry was going to the Chiefs and I wasn't drafting Okung at 6.
That said, once Hamas took the top rated player on my big board and then the Lions went with Okung, I knew that a decision was coming.
Do I address the most blatant need for Seattle by taking Spiller even though McCoy is arguably a top 3 player in this draft?
Brandon Mebane and Colin Cole combined for 1 1/2 sacks last year and Patrick Kearney on the end is getting old. The defensive line was a need for the Seahawks as well, and while I didn't plan on addressing it until later in the draft, it's safe to say that I'll find a better RB in the mid rounds than defensive lineman.
McCoy is a gift, and one the Hawks are absolutely thrilled with having him wrapped up and given to them. He will provide instant stability to Seattle's faltering interior defensive line.
