Seahawks gonna draft Taylor Mays?

Pete Carroll's tweeting songs to give a hint who they're gonna draft, but of course, how do they know exactly which player they'll draft, until they know which players are still available??? Seems like he's pulling pranks on people.

But I think he's hinting at:

  1. Taylor Mays with Jeremy - Pearl Jam and Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash, both pointing to Seattle and Big Balls - AC/DC pointing to his sheer size.
  2. CJ Spiller with Back Door Man - The Doors pointing to a cut back runner, Soul Sacrifice - Santana pointing to a Southern player, and Let the Beat Build - Lil Wayne, referring to Spiller's smaller stature.
  3. Charles Brown with Superman's Song - Crash Test Dummies suggesting his stats that he only allowed 1 sack last year, California Love - Tupac that points to California.

But then again, he could be jerking us all around. We'll see. I'd be mildly surprised if he didn't pick up these 3 guys actually, as they fill the 3 positions- of many - needing help, but especially safety and left tackle. I guess we'll see over the next few days.

I think USC might have 8 or so players picked, even with a 9-4 record this past season; they're just a juggernaut of talent. My expected order of picks: Taylor Mays, Everson Griffen, Charles Brown, Damien Williams, Anthony McCoy, Joe McKnight, Stafon Johnson, Will Harris, Jeff Byers, Nick Howell, Kevin Thomas and Josh Pinkard, the last 3 might end up undrafted and sign as free agents.

Of course, if they get 10 guys picked, it will make huge headlines, given that it would mark 3 straight years of at least 10 players picked from USC. That's something to think about.
