You can also follow the Seahawks draft room live here later today.

My story today focuses on Seattle making the choice between pass rushers Quinton Coples of North Carolina and South Carolina’s Melvin Ingram if they stay at No. 12.

Coples offers that special quality of a prototypical pass rusher who could develop into a pro bowler, while Ingram is a versatile defender that the Seahawks could use all over the field.

“There’s a guy that’s 6-foot-5-inches-plus that runs 4.6’s in Coples,” Pete Carroll said. “He has prototypical numbers and he’s a classic in the profile of the big pass rusher.

“Ingram is much more of a different guy. He is an inside pass rusher primarily that plays outside linebacker at times, that plays ‘Mike’ (middle) linebacker at times. He’s all over the place, and he’s utilized totally differently.

“He’s a shorter guy with shorter leverage and all of that, and has effectiveness and a total different style. They’re just widely different. Both are very effective and great prospects that will go high in the draft.”

ESPN’s Mel Kiper has Seattle selecting Syracuse defensive end Chandler Jones at No. 12, a player that has risen up the draft boards in the last few days. Mike Sando also offers his thoughts on the choice.

Mike Mayock of the NFL Network says three years from now Jones could be the best defensive player to come out of this draft in this video clip.

Look, Jones is a rangy athlete who is very talented and possibly has a chance to develop into a Jason Pierre-Paul type of pass rusher. But just watching a few clips on Youtube this morning he looks a bit awkward moving around to me, doesn’t find the football well and he has durability issues. The Seahawks need someone who can make an impact now, not in three years.
