Clare posted some mocks of the pro’s around the internet on Seahawks.com, some good ones some outright stupid ones.
Well we submit to you our updated round 1 Seattle Seahawks draft picks in our eyes where we think the Seattle Seahawks could end up leaning to in this years first round.
We put 7 of the most diehard Seattle Seahawks fans together in a room at my house and after a long hard fought battle and drunkeness we came up with the draft round one at the end of a long night.
But it’s still entertaining to see what the pundits predict, so let’s take a look:

* Rams (1): Bradford
* Lions (2): Suh
* Buccaneers (3): McCoy
* Redskins (4): Okung
* Chiefs (5): T. Williams
* Seahawks (6): Bulaga
In Charlie Whitehurst, Pete Carroll clearly believes he has found his quarterback of the future. His next priority should be the offensive line. Without the high second-round pick that could have been used on one of the next-tier tackles – the pick was sacrificed to acquire Whitehurst from San Diego, which mandated the teams swap second-round position – who would fit Alex Gibbs’ zone-blocking system, the Seahawks have backed themselves into a corner and now must address the line early. Bulaga is a rung below Okung and Williams in terms of pure athleticism, but he’s technically sound and experienced in a zone-blocking offense.
Seahawks (14): Morgan
The Seahawks have bigger needs but Pete Carroll is a defense-first coach and won’t ignore the game film. After posting 14.5 sacks in 2007, Patrick Kerney has fallen off to 5.0 sacks each of the past two seasons. Worse, the 33-year-old’s 5.0 sacks last season led this unit. He is due $5.16 million this season. Morgan had 12.5 sacks last season.

* Rams (1): Bradford
* Lions (2): Suh
* Buccaneers (3): McCoy
* Redskins (4): Okung
* Chiefs (5): T. Williams
* Seahawks (6): Spiller
Pete Carroll talks about building his team around a running game, and you’re not getting there with Julius Jones or Justin Forsett. There’s one elite back in this draft. So take him.
Seahawks (14): Morgan
Patrick Kerney is just about finished. Darryl Tapp is gone. It’s time to find a top-shelf pass rusher, especially if you’re in the same division with Arizona. Morgan is a start.

* Rams (1): Bradford
* Lions (2): Suh
* Buccaneers (3): McCoy
* Redskins (4): Okung
* Chiefs (5): Berry
* Seahawks (6): T. Williams
Williams is the most versatile player in the draft, a rare feat for an offensive lineman. Here’s a guy who has played well at both tackle positions, and has even seen spot duty at center. A safe pick, because Williams can upgrade your offensive line in more than one place. Seattle has to improve its O-line with one of these picks, and Williams is more coveted each week.
Seahawks (14): Morgan
Seattle needs a pass-rusher on the edge of a 4-3 scheme, and Morgan is an ideal addition. He’s got the pass-rushing skills to be a disruptive force, and the strength to hold up well in the run game. No player in college displayed more versatility from this position over the past season. If the Hawks add a top DE and OT in Round 1, they’ll be, quite simply, a better football team.
Todd McShay, ESPN.com
* Rams (1): Bradford
* Lions (2): Suh
* Buccaneers (3): McCoy
* Redskins (4): Okung
* Chiefs (5): Bulaga
* Seahawks (6): Berry
This is a tough call between Berry and OT Williams. The Seahawks have significant need at both positions and offensive tackle carries more weight, but Seattle could pass on Williams for the same reasons the Chiefs did one pick earlier. Plus, Berry is clearly the top defensive back in the 2010 class and he could fill a glaring hole in the middle of the Seahawks’ defense.
Seahawks (14): Spiller
The Seahawks would bypass arguably their biggest need (OT) in this first-round scenario, but the good news is they would end up with two of the top seven players in this draft. Spiller is the most dynamic skill player on the board and would instantly upgrade the attack with his versatility in the running and passing games, and he can also contribute in the return game.

Everyone seems to have the Hawks taking Morgan at 14. True he's a good player but no one is making mention of Foley that the Hawks picked up.He's a top notch player.True theres no comparing the CFL to the NFL but a lot of great players have come from the CFL and Foley is considered one if not THE best pass rushers of the CFL & could very easily be a top tier DE in the NFL. With having several DE's in house now,I can't see spending such a high pick for redundancy. Lets see if Foley and the others work out before we splurge on another high priced DE. Heck, Washington wants to get rid of Haynesworth and we do have the richest owner in the league. If we do take Berry or Spiller at #6 as many suggest, we will still need a good Olineman. Top three are gone by #14,however I think a lot of people over look the most versatile lineman in the draft. Iaputi. A pro bowl left guard for sure and even possibly a LT. Familiar and proven with the zone blocking scheme already and not a one year wonder. Pull the trigger on him at #14. Maybe pick up Charles Brown at #60 or LeFavour.
