    With the 6th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks select Oklahoma State OT Russell Okung. Okung is a prototypical left tackle in that he has rare size and long arms that allow him to control and steer pass rushers on by the pocket. He shows excellent balance and body control but will occasionally overextend or reach for the block which keeps him from sustaining blocks as long as he could. Okung has the body type that teams are looking for when it comes to protecting the blind side.
