Hey guys, I'm participating in a mock draft over at Stampede Blue; the SB Nation blog for the Indianapolis Colts, and I've elected to draft for your Seattle Seahawks.  I just wanted to drop a line and get a feel for what some Seahawks fans were thinking about the draft.  Any advice on who you are high on, what you think the team needs, or what you actually think the Seahawks will do, would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks  in advance guys, and I look forward to hearing what you have to say.

According to NFL.com, Marvin has asked to be released from the Colts.  While it is hard for me to tell a player not to go out and look for all the money he thinks he deserves, I think Marvin might be making a mistake here.  The Colts have been very generous with Marvin over the years (evidenced by the fact that Marvin's cap hit this year will be the most among WRs).  Next man up.

If that's not good coaching, I don't know what is (although I'm sure having #18 behind center can't hurt either).
