Earl Thomas
17 October 2010
Carroll, known for his defensive schemes, drafted a playmaker in secondary when he took safety Earl Thomas with the 14th overall pick. Thomas is a ball-hawk and will be waiting for any errant pass over the middle that floats too long. The Seattle secondary is full of names you'll know like corner Marcus Trufant and veteran safety Lawyer Milloy, but they're long in the tooth and won't be able to keep up with the Bears' speed on the outside with Devin Hester and Johnny Knox. Cutler should carve them up if he's patient.

Drafting safety Earl Thomas gives the Seahawks a play-maker in the secondary, something they desperately needed. He'll be behind a dependable linebacking corps that features Aaron Curry (last year's fourth overall pick) , Leroy Hill and Lofa Tatupu. The defensive line still needs work, but the defense certainly won't roll over as easy as last season.
