The Seahawks pick was a reach. lol!

Coach Saban's reaction as the pick was read: He asked someone at his table, "James Carpenter?" with a wtf look on his face then just shook his head. I lol'd.

Seems like it, but it remains to be seen. If he ends up a great player, nobody will say that we reached.

That was Awesome!!! Moreover, what makes it more funny is that James Carpenter played for Saban at Alabama and Nick still had the WTF look. I'm waiting for the gif to come out for that and post-whore all over the seachicken's boards.

We got him at 7th.

Dallas was showing strong interest at 9th.

I think the last player we stole under the Cowboys noses in the 1st round was Jerry Rice

Not at all.

Most people called him a reach because he went over Prince and Quinn. He without a doubt would have went before Prince and most likely went before Quinn had we not tooken him at 7.

Just because he wasn't on our fanbase's radar doesn't mean he's a reach.

who the f**k knows. Draft picks are like a box of chocolates. you never know what you're gonna get.

his physique is a bit strange. Tall, long ass arms, kindda skinny. Could be a good thing in pass rushing, a bad thing in run stopping.

It was a huge reach. We couldn't get a trade to go through. Then slammed down the phone, panicked and reached on a guy at #7.

YeAh what a big reach on a guy who could have gone as high as 9

I might join you and whine about this once I actually agree that 2 sPots is a reach. The only team we could have traded with is Tenn, and why would they trade if they knew they were reaching with Locker?

You are just a Blaine fan boy and are butt hurt we didn't pick him

Smith isn't the guy he wanted and now he's concocting a make-believe war room scenario about how Baalke made the pick to fit his preconceived opinion of the man.
