Favorite Draft Classes

Seattle Seahawks
OLB Dre Greenlaw (13th overall)
DE Rasheem Green (45th overall)
C Bernie Buckley (77th overall)
WR Michael Gallup (93rd overall)
SS Ernie Perz (173rd overall)
FS Jose McDaniels (205th overall)

The Seahawks may not have a rich defensive history, but they've always had excellent OLB play, and Greenlaw is their first OLB taken in the first round. I think he will have a great career there. Green will likely not start, but if the Seahawks do not use their massive cap space on a starter opposite Charles Luhr, Green is the favorite. The Seahawks have had a tough time solving their interior OL woes. They brought in G Branden Albert in a trade. Assuming that he starts there and not at LT, that leaves C as the glaring place for improvement. Even if they do grab someone, Buckley will be the top backup and unlike their starting counterparts, backup OL tend to do quite well in Seattle. Gallup was probably who I was going to take in the 4th, so I have to give credit to a division rival for trading up in front of me to grab him. The Seahawks also have a strong history of spreading the ball around, so if Gallup is not the #2 WR this season, I do expect him to be heavily involved nonetheless. Both Perz and McDaniels will presumably be the backup at each safety spot. The Seahawks have a spotty track record with backup safeties, but they will get their time on the field, and that could lead to multiple contracts down the line. Maybe this is not an elite draft class overall, but it is one where everyone should get their opportunities from the start, which could lead to multiple eventual starters from the Green/Buckley/Gallup/Perz group (sorry McDaniels).

Honorable Mentions
Jacksonville Jaguars
Minnesota Vikings (both teams had 11 combined Top 100 picks, so I felt it was too easy to make them the lead pick)
