Dale has a pretty good line on it. We understand you have to do something to fill media space this time of year with the season still months away. I've always like the more local evaluations of what Seattle does in the draft, after the fact. The first five picks might be easier to figure but after that it's crap shoot. This years draft has more quality and less impact players according to JS. I have heard that from a few analysts that have a players insight of position groups. This might be a good year to trade down, accumulate picks which Ken spoke of in his latest article about rounds 5-7 for Seattle. I think Seattle trades down at 9 and 41 and probably and extra picks in the 3rd that they accumulate. It will be interesting to see how Seattle's new(er) coaching staff effects this years selections.
Your commentary is spot on as to my feelings and expectations for the Draft. Not really knowing is what creates all the excitement that I love about it. The Hawks in particular, drive me a little crazy and yet still is fun to watch what happens.

First off, thanks for writing this column. Really enjoying it.
I like Peter King, but he is a bit arrogant when it comes to certain things. That’s funny how wrong he was on the draft last year.

Things I believe about the Seahawks:
1. They like Gardner, Mafe, Rasheed Walker, Taylor-Britt, Strange, and Watson.
2. They don't want to use the ninth pick.
3. They want to trade down every chance they get because they are volume believers. FYI, Bill Belichick has executed the most draft day trades.
4. They MUST take an OT within the top 100.
5. They will draft a pass rusher within the top 100.
6. The reason we can't predict their picks is because they don't know their picks. That said, they have a history of drafting need positions.
THANK YOU Kenneth for wading through PK's 16 pages, saving me time and protecting me from his cloying humblebrags ...
I set him free a while back (tho I love haikus)
