2013 Draft - Seahawks Trade Up to Take DT
Just prior to taking Simon at 138, the Seahawks traded off some of their war chest of draft picks to acquire the 137th pick from the Lions. In exchange for a fifth (165th) and a sixth round pick (199th), Seattle received the opportunity to acquire defensive tackle Jesse Williams from Alabama.
Williams is a big, powerful lineman who has the strength, size (6'3", 323...
And with the 87th Pick, the Seahawks Take...
....Jordan Hill, defensive tackle, Penn State.
Hold your Sandusky jokes. This guy looks like Brandon Mebane, and plays like him, too - Hill stands at 6'1", weighs 303 pounds, has 33 1/2-inch arms, and is only 22 years old.
Talk about upside? This guy has it. Taken from the Penn State Athletics' website:
Jordan Hill has a non-stop motor and has set a...
Seahawks’ 2013 draft needs: defensive tackle
I know the Seattle Seahawks are the “Dream Team” in 2013, but one area that could use some more talent on defense is at the defensive tackle spot. After all, Alan Branch and Brandon Mebane aren’t exactly the pass rushing duo you think of when it comes to the Seahawks. And it wouldn’t hurt to find another defensive tackle that could be used in pass rushing situations on third...

Seahawks Reportedly Prepared To Offer DE Red Bryant A Contract
Pro Football Weekly reports that the Seattle Seahawks are ready to extend DE Red Bryant a contract similar to the one they gave to DT Brandon Mebane last year. Last year, Mebane signed a five-year deal worth $25 million and includes $9 million in guarantees. That should be a fairly competitive offer for Bryant and his representation to consider. Bryant, 27, has said that he would...
