In honor of the upcoming NFL Draft, Super Bowl runner-up Seahawks are out to restock the cupboards. All indication, 2006 will be a relatively deep draft and the biggest need is in the defensive backfield. The Seahawks, love them or hate them have been known to be unable to scout and draft the DB studs. I am hoping for a change from the past. Here is my assessment of Seahawk draft picks past and present.
BEST 1st Rounders over the past 3 decades:
Kenny Easley, Jacob Green, John L. Williams, Shaun Alexander, Curt Warner, Jeff Bryant; Walter Jones, Steve Hutchinson, Manu Tuisasasopo
WORST 1st Rounders over the past 3 decades: (where do I begin??)
Kelly Stouffer, Rick Mirer, Dan McGwire (thank you for not drafting any more QBs in the 1st round!!), Brian Bosworth, Terry Taylor, Lamar King, Chris McIntosh, Ray Roberts, Tony Woods, Steve Niehaus
JURYs STILL OUT:
Jerramy Stevens, Chris Spencer, Marcus Tubbs and Marcus Trufant
I hail from the Pacific Northwest and the Capital City of Olympia, WA, and am all about my local teams such as my Sonics, Seahawks, Storm, Mariners, and local reps in March Madness like my UW Huskies and Gonzaga Bulldogs. If you've read my previous blogs, I'm for fair and just officiating unlike the travesty that was seen in the last Super Bowl, and am a huge promoter and fan of winter games like skiing and think the NW and Canada has some of the best skiing in the world, and love outdoor sports of all kinds. If you want to listen to a guy who loves the NW easygoing lifestyle, clean air, good coffee, micro brewery in every town, eco-friendly folks, and rivers full of wild steelhead and salmon for me to fish, stay tuned.
