So Seattle opened the draft by picking offensive guard Grey Zabel 18th overall and taking safety Nick Emmanwori (35th) and tight end Elijah Arroyo (50th) in the second round. They have five picks left.

The Seahawks had clear needs up front on the offensive line, at wide receiver, and even in the secondary, and they managed to address all of them. Before the draft, general manager John Schneider said the team was in a position to draft " darn good football players " and that's just what they did.
