"With two picks in the top half of the first round, should the Seahawks try to move up to the first overall pick or stay put?"
•  ANTICHARISMA
 
Position:Defensive Tackle
College:Florida
Height:6'4"
Weight:325
40 Speed:5.12
225 Bench:29 reps
Strengths: He has great size and strength, and knows how to use it. Should step in immediately as a good run-stopper. He also has an outstanding burst out of his stance, with a very quick first step.

Weaknesses: Needs to work on play recognition. He will sometimes run himself out of plays or allow himself to be taken out because he did not decipher between a run and pass quickly enough. His work ethic has been questioned and he doesn't always give it a full effort on every play.

Summary: Warren should be a top-five pick on natural ability alone. He must, however, provide a consistent effort if he is to develop into a pro-bowl type player. If he is in shape, which many scouts think he is not, he should step into a starting role immediately.
