With the 30th (130th overall) pick in the 4th round of the NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks selected: Terry Poole, a tackle from San Diego State. A player that they’ve liked for some time during the process, according to Greg Bell, from Seattle PI, they’ve “been in contact with the team during the pre-draft process.” How does he help the Hawks?
What he brings to a battered o-line:
Poole played tackle in college, but most people see him transitioning to guard. Poole isn’t athletic enough to handle the edge duties that the glory position of left tackle requires, he “does not have the quick feet or athleticism to play left tackle” according to Bo Marchionte (he did play some right tackle in college also); there also isn’t a need for a tackle this year.
