    • 3rd Round, 87th Pick: Jordan Hill, DT, Penn State
    • 4th Round, 123rd Pick: Chris Harper, WR, Kansas State
    • 5th Round, 138th Pick: Tharold Simon, CB, LSU
    • 5th Round, 137th Pick: Jesse Williams, DT/DE, Alabama
    • 5th Round, 158th Pick: Luke Wilson, TE, Rice

    • 7th Round, 241st Pick: Jared Smith, G, New Hampshire
    • 7th Round, 242nd Pick: Michael Bowie, T, Northeastern State


    Undrafted Free Agents:

    WR***** Matt Austin***************** Utah State

    T********* Alvin Bailey**************** Arkansas

    DE****** Kenneth Boatright******* Southern Illinois

    LB****** Ramon Buchanan******** Miami

    LB****** John Lotulelei************** UNLV

    SS******* Ray Polk********************** Colorado

    G******** Jordon Roussos*********** Bowling Green

    RB****** Dominique Whaley****** Oklahoma

    LB****** Craig Wilkins*************** Old Dominion

    Standouts:
    • Chris Harper is a big body from Kansas State, who has a very large catch radius, and can make people miss in the open field. His measurables don't stand out, but his game tape speaks for itself.

    • In my opinion, Jordan Hill & Jesse Williams were the best pickups in our team's draft. Williams probably would've gone in the first two rounds were it not for a late season knee injury. He has spectacular upper body strength, and it shows on the field. He also ran a 4.9 40-yard dash, which could mean he'd make a great 4-3 end. Hill is a high-motor guy, he's got a quick first step, and he never quits on a play.

    • Luke Wilson is kinda interesting due to the fact that his Pro Day numbers would've put him in the Top 5 TE class, had he actually participated in the Scouting Combine. It's actually kinda strange he fell that far.


    Three things to know going into training camp:
    1. Any WR whose last name isn't Harvin should be worried. With Harper's selection in the middle rounds, Pete Carroll & John Schneider have made it clear that they still consider WR a position to improve. That, and they are also well aware of all the money currently tied up at the position. In fact... don't be surprised if Sidney Rice gets cut this off-season.

    2. Jesse Williams WILL become the starter opposite Brandon Mebane, and Hill will challenge for Mebane's spot. Williams is the only tackle outside of Jonathan Hankins that fits Pete Carroll's mold for the three-technique: big, strong, and aggressive. Look for Williams to start, with Hill challenging for the two-technique spot.

    3. Brandon Browner, Zach Miller, Brandon Mebane, Sidney Rice, & Red Bryant might get cut this season or next season. If NFL statistics are any indication, the likelihood of a team's entire draft class panning out is very slim. But with that being said, Williams & Hill could arguably be seen as upgrades to the DT position, and Williams in particular could be a monster at DE. Wilson is, at the very least, gonna see some time as Miller's backup, as well as the opposite tight end in certain packages, but he's also athletic and skilled enough to challenge Miller for a starting job. Harper has enough upside to challenge Rice for the split end spot. Simon bullies opposing wideouts like Browner does.

      This may seem like a bit of a reach from me, but I'm looking at this strictly from the money = production perspective, and right now, the two aren't exactly correlating in regards to the starters mentioned. Rice has only played one full season since coming to Seattle, and he hasn't exactly set the world on fire (in his defense, he was always one of the more reliable receivers on the team, and we never really threw the ball a lot until the Atlanta game). Mebane shows up every once in a while, but he tends to have long quiet stretches. Bryant had a down year last season (in HIS defense, he had a pretty nasty foot injury last season, but he was never a star when he was healthy anyways. With Williams drafted, his role as the anchor is very expendable now). Browner was suspended four games last year, albeit under very dubious circumstances. And Miller didn't show up until the Atlanta game last season (and in HIS defense, it was a very good game for him, and he played injured). All of those players, except for Browner, are making a considerable amount of money in each of their perspective contracts.

    4. Consider the lack of Tackle picks as a HUGE endorsement of Breno Giacomini. And in my opinion, he deserves it. Giacomini is a good right tackle, who could even be great, but only if he ever learns to cut back on penalties. That was his biggest problem last season. Other than that, there are no glaring weaknesses in his game.

      So pumped! Just barely got in for season tickets this year. The ticket rep called and told me there's something like less than 100 seats available. The seats are in the very last row in the upper deck, on the 25 yard line, so it's not very good. But it feels good to just barely sneak into the building this year. I wish I had gotten in like I wanted to last year while the seats were plentiful, but unfortunately finances got in the way. So excited! My weekends this fall are going to be amazing with this, plus my 4th season of Husky football tickets as well. Can't wait!

        Are you guys worried about Richard Shermans and contract expiring soon? I don't mean if you're if he'll go to another team but if your worried about his cap number approaching or surpassing Revis's and potentially crippling other areas of the team(Russell Wilson would get a new contract soon after Shermans got a new one.)

          Is there a reason why we always have bad luck with wideouts in Seattle?

              Was thinking about this yesterday. When was the last time there was this much hype for a Seattle sports team? '95 Mariners, '01 Mariners, '79 Sonics.....

              There are radio stations giving out tickets to SOLD OUT TRAINING CAMP!

              I remember going over to Cheney and you had free range of the place. Don't get me wrong, love it, been a fan since day 1. Was at the first preseason game on august of 76 vs the 49ers.

              Just incredible to see all they hype after so long.....

              What's your thoughts? It's a game.

                Hey guys need some help from Seahawks fans. I'm down in Seatle for a week and am looking at getting tickets for the Thursday game. Which sideline section seats should I be getting if I want to be near the players benches and all that. I know they're going to be pricey, but it's my son and I's first NFL experience other than the Pro Bowl at a live game.

                Any other advice would also be appreciated Also got tickets to an M's game tomorrow so it'll be a nice sports trip for us. Thanks in advance!

                  The Hawks are on the West side of CLink. So you'll want somewhere between sections 130-140.

                      Thanks Coug Going to get tickets today. I've spent too much money at the pro shop already between my new Wilson jersey, ballcap, and a t-shirt. I still might get a white jersey before it's all said and done.

                          Just wanted to say that I had a blast at the game tonight. It was only pre-season, but the atmosphere was loud and so much fun. My son and I got to watch warmups and see the players up close. My wife enjoyed the food and of course, the Hawks won and I got to see Wilson play a series!

                          Tarvaris Jackson surprisingly played well while Quinn struggled a bit. I may have to go to a regular season game now as we were treated to a great time. Definitely a highlight. My son also picked up a 12th Man T-shirt and baseball cap. Loved it.

                            Brady Quinn has been cut. YAY! Now Jerry Jones can sign him. I guess that means he's gonna be a Cowboy by this Sunday. The #10 jersey is not currently being used at the moment.

                              LOL. I thought Quinn would be cut based on what I saw. Not all his fault, but the way Jackson played made it hard. Sad about Robinson, but he'll get picked up I'm sure.

                              Bring on the season!
