16: RB - TODD GURLEY
Yep, I went there. Foster most likely has 1yr left here, which could give Gurley some more time to fully heal if need be. I can hear it now... RB is the least of our needs, and we could probably find a guy in the later rounds... Those might be valid arguments, but if I'm GM, I'm not passing up on a guy I feel has AP type talent. Blue is a nice backup.

51: CB - BYRON JONES
Insane athlete that will either play CB of FS on my team.

83: WR - PHILLIP DORSETT
Speedster, slot guy, KR/PR, take the top off the D, it's all taken care of here.

116: TE - JESSE JAMES
My redzone/endzone go-to guy. Let JJ take a breather and focus on D. Do it before something stupid happens lining him up on O!!

152: WR - DEANDRE SMELTER
Got my burner. Now I get my big-body possession/zone-eating/blocking crusher. He will make losing AJ not as difficult to bear (at least until he reams us up the you-know-what in a Colts uniform for the next year or two).

175: C - MAX GARCIA
Anyone else confident in Jones at C? Not, I. This guy supposedly is a high motor guy. A team captain that players, coaches, fans all love. Oh, and he loves to workout. Sounds good to me...

195: DE - FRANK CLARK
Yep, I went there. I know he's a HUGE risk, but he also has HIGH potential and this a 6th RD pick so I'm willing to gamble with it. The Seahawks weren't made with choirboys.

211: DT- LETERRIUS WALTON
Big man, with big potential and has the motivation. The anti-Nix, if you will. I have no confidence at all that human slug Nix will ever see the field --- at least with the Texans...

216: ILB - BRYCE HAGER
High motor guy. I have to get some ST thumpers with potential at some point.

235: OLB - JAMES VAUGHTERS
See above. Might even be ILB worthy.

As you can see, no QB. I'm waiting until next year where it appears the QB talent pool will be much deeper. I'm going into 2015 with a hot mess at QB and hoping Mallett is way more than anyone ever expected. If not, I get a higher pick next year to grab my future QB to go with my future stud RB. This year, I use my late picks on potential and/or building my STs, depth and core.

I went and did a similar draft :
#16 RB Melvin Gordon (WRs and OLBs were taken )
#51 WR Breshad Perriman
#82 DB Eric Rowe
#116 WR Tyler Lockett
#152 TE Mycole Pruitt (Fastest TE in the draft with college production )
#175 ILB Mike Hull (Penn State)
#195 OL Arie Kouandjio (People Mover)
#211 OL Mitch Morse (Swing Tackle)
#216 DL Derrick Lott
#235 OLB Alani Fua
