The Unofficial Seahawks Draft Board


The Best Days of Spring are just around the corner -- the NFL Draft -- and there is a lot of speculation on who the Seahawks will draft at the #25 spot. Ryan Mallett? Jake Loker? Mike Pouncey? Jimmy Smith? Someone else? A lot of names are being bandied about these days, but it's hard to nail down who the Seahawks may be favoring, especially since there are 24 other teams picking in front of Seattle. For all we know, a really good prospect no one thought would be available to the Seahawks might fall unexpectedly; one or two unexpected picks could throw this draft into chaos.

So, instead of wondering who the Seahawks will actually draft, I'm going to list the Unofficial Top 25 Players on the Seattle Seahawks Draft Board. On Draft Day, I believe the highest-ranked player (or someone close to it) on this list not yet drafted will be taken by Seattle, assuming they don't trade up or down.

1.) Patrick Peterson

2.) Marcell Dareus

3.) Blaine Gabbert

4.) Robert Quinn

5.) Nick Fairley

6.) Cam Newton

7.) Prince Amukamara

8.) Von Miller

9.) A.J. Green

10.) Tyron Smith

11.) Julio Jones

12.) Da'Quan Bowers

13.) Cameron Jordan

14.) J.J. Watt

15.) Corey Liuget

16.) Ryan Mallett

17.) Jake Locker

18.) Aldon Smith

19.) Jimmy Smith

20.) Mike Pouncey

21.) Ryan Kerrigan

22.) Muhammad Wilkerson

23.) Gabe Carimi

24.) Justin Houston

25.) Adrian Clayborn

That's right, I got Mallett over Locker; it's possible the Seahawks see things the other way for all I know. I do believe if either QB were available, the Seahawks would take one of them over the likes of Pouncey and one of the Smiths (I know a lot people are high on Pouncey, but, jeez, you can get a decent guard later in the draft). Or, for all we know, Bowers or Liuget could fall to #25, and we take one of them instead. How do you like my list? Other than ranking Cam Newton way too high, is there anything incredibly wrong about how this list was arranged?
