Heater the 15th best player in NFC West?
Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. ranks David Hawthorne the 15th best player in the NFC West. It's about time Hawthorne got some recognition!

Sad news for a great fullback. Hopefully his knees will hold up.
Who in the hell is Lemuel Jeanpierre?
The No. 1 line featured – from left tackle to right – Okung, Mike Gibson, Chris Spencer, Stacy Andrews and Tyler Polumbus. But the No. 2 unit included Polumbus on the left side, Allen Barbre, Lemuel Jeanpierre, Gibson at right guard and Breno Giacomini.
We have a guy named Lemuel?
Right guard looked like the one position they didn't have to worry about at all, and then this (Unger's injury) happened. Unger was a real good fit in their scheme, the one guy who was always dependable. He had good athleticism and mobility, and he also had a real nasty streak.

Stampede Blue - Why Pitcock retired: Video Games?
Video Games? Well, at least it wasn't strip clubs and alcohol...we're safe until PS4 comes out.
Also, obviously, depression was a factor. It usually is when video game addition is part of the equation.
Old Spice Man Your Man Could Smell Like is a Former Seahawk!
Isaiah Mustafa, the guy from the recent Old Spice commercials (you know you've seen them) is a former Seahawk. Not that he played, but he was at least camp fodder.
What do you think...could we have done worse than having the Man Your Man Could Smell Like catching footballs in 2000? And if he and Nick Reed could be on the field at the same time, could the Universe implode?
Schneider on the Elephant (Leo) position:
It is a position that my roommate in college made up! Kidding, we actually call it the 'leo' position here and yes, it is the weakside defensive end position, much like Charles Haley played in Dallas and San Francisco.
Sando talks Value Chart

For what it's worth, I'm not a huge value chart supporter. Big shocker there, if you've been following my joyous conversations with another verbose conversationalist on other boards. I believe that picks have value, I believe that players have value, I believe a can of Sprite has value. I just don't agree with the values given based on the chart at hand.
At any rate, here's what Sando had to say about the Seattle Seahawks trades and how they work out to the value chart. I thought it might be another fun way to determine if we think we made good trades during and before the draft.
Per Sando:
Seattle Seahawks
Jets trade: The Seahawks sent the 139th pick (36.5 points) to the Jets for the 236th pick (1.8 points) and running back Leon Washington.
Washington's value was 34.7 points, or about what the 143rd overall choice would be worth (the Jaguars used the 143rd choice for Central Arkansas linebacker Larry Hart).
The Jets used the 139th choice for Kentucky fullback John Conner. The Seahawks used the 236th pick for Arizona State defensive lineman Dexter Davis.
Titans trade: The Seahawks sent the 104th (86 points) and 176th (22 points) to Tennessee for the 111th (72 points) and 185th (18.4 points) picks, plus running back LenDale White and defensive lineman Kevin Vickerson.
The deal valued White and Vickerson at a combined 17.6 points, equivalent of the 187th overall choice, which Houston used for Colorado state guard Shelley Smith.
The Titans used the 104th pick for UCLA cornerback Alterraun Verner. They used the 176th choice for Florida Atlantic quarterback Rusty Smith. Seattle used the 111th choice for Oregon cornerback Walter Thurmond and the 185th choice for USC tight end Anthony McCoy.
Pre-draft trades: The Seahawks made three of them involving 2010 selections. They sent guard Rob Sims and the 213th choice (7.2 points) to the Lions for defensive end Robert Henderson and the 133rd overall choice (39.5 points). They traded the 40th pick (500 points) to San Diego for the 60th pick (300 points), quarterback Charlie Whitehurst and a 2011 third-round choice (worth an estimated 70 points). They also traded defensive end Darryl Tapp to Philadelphia for the 127th pick (45 points) and defensive end Chris Clemons.
The Seahawks used the 133rd choice, from Detroit, for Virginia Tech safety Kam Chancellor. The Lions used the 213th choice for North Carolina State defensive end Willie Young. The Chargers used the 40th pick to move up for Fresno State running back Ryan Mathews. The Seahawks used the 60th pick for Notre Dame receiver Golden Tate. They used the 127th pick for North Carolina defensive end E.J. Wilson.
3 comments"I ranked the Seahawks 29th in my previous update. Since then, they lost Patrick Kerney to retirement and Rob Sims in a trade with the Lions. Unless Clipboard Jesus is capable of performing miracles, Seattle is the worst team in the NFL. Aside from the linebackers and tight ends, the Seahawks are hurting at every single position."
St. Louis may be offering their second rounder for McNabb?
So, what do you think? Is McNabb worth a high 2nd rounder? Would he have been a better pick-up for the Seahawks than Whitehurst (assuming a second rounder is indeed enough to snag McNabb?) Obviously, he's older but more accomplished. Would he be an upgrade over Hass in the short-term, and if so, would he be worth grabbing for the little time he'd be a starter?
This might be just a rumor, but I'm curious about what others think.
Seattle receives 7th round compensatory pick.
Seattle receives compensatory pick.
7th rounder, pick 38 in the round, pick number 245 overall. Whoo-hoo, we're packing on the late round draft picks!
Seahawks signing Quinton Ganther?

We certainly need a running back improvement. What do you think about this signing? It seems like he could be better than some of the players on our roster, but we also need younger talent; younger than this, and probably more talented. I'd like to see a talented running back grabbed in the draft. Hopefully this is a depth move and I'd be interested in seeing more information on whether or not the fellow can play.
Ganther was a seventh rounder in 2006 out of Utah
