Hyping Up the Draft: Who will the Seahawks Pick at No. 4?

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 18:09:40 -0500

The NFL Draft is still a couple of months away, but here are the players the experts have the Seahawks currently taking with their No. 4 pick.

ESPN's Mel Kiper: Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech

(I know the guy in the video isn't Mel Kiper, but to get his analysis you have to be an "ESPN Insider". This is better anyways:

Fox Sports/Scout.com: WR Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech
Crabtree is an explosive, physical receiver who has game changing ability. He has strong hands, makes tough catches in traffic and always looks to make a positive play.
Seahawks Draft Blog: WR Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech
The Seahawks need a play maker on offense and Crabtree can help from day one. He fits the criteria GM Tim Ruskell looks for - showing consistent production (double Biletnikoff winner) and a good character.
Draft Countdown: WR Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech
The bottom line is that when it comes to wideouts the Seahawks have quantity, but what they lack is quality. Michael Crabtree is just a redshirt sophomore but he was a two-time winner of the Biletnikoff Award and will go down as one of the greatest receivers in college football history.

Draft Daddy: OT Eugene Monroe, Virginia
Walter Jones is coming off of a severe injury, Monroe could be a premium level replacement.Michael Crabtree seems to be the most likely choice for the Seahawks at the moment. But the draft is a long time from now. Free Agency and the NFL combine will impact who the Seahawks pick greatly. Stay tuned.

Random Musings: I'm getting sick of people talking about Ken Griffey Jr. It's quite annoying. And I might have just stumbled upon the coolest thing ever. Re-playable Husky Basketball highlights!!! Go here. And isn't that UW new live mascot cute! No homo. It is just a cute little husky! So apparently Roberto Alomar is being accused of giving a girl AIDS (knowingly) and Miguel Tejada is about to go to jail for lying to Congress and A-Rod took steroids. However, none of there consequences will be as severe as when Bloomquist broke the law!

With the Huskies and Seahawks' seasons all but finished, there really isn't much interesting news outside of college basketball.
Gonzaga Men's Basketball Team: The Bulldogs won the Old Spice Classic, defeating No. 12 Tennessee in the finals. Ranked No. 9, the Zags were lead by Steven Gray with 19 points. Gonzaga will look to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament this year. And in a year without the NBA, Seattle sure would appreciate it. Grade: A
Quincy Pondexter, UW Men's Basketball Team: Pondexter showed his potential in a 72-54 Husky victory. He had 16 points and 12 rebounds, playing like the player the Dawgs will need if they want to make it to the NCAA tournament. With Jon Brockman held to just 13 points and 6 rebounds, Pondexter stepped up and led the Huskies to victory. If he is able to keep up this type of performance, Washington will be a team to reckon with in March. Grade: A

Walter Jones, Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawk's legendary left tackle showed his mortality in a loss to Dallas. Jones, a man you never notice because he rarely makes mistakes, made a couple big ones in the 34-9 blowout to the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. He gave up two sacks, albeit to the Cowboy's talented DE DeMarcus Ware. His performance makes you wonder how many years are left in hima?? do the Seahawks finally need to draft a replacement? Grade: D
