Pick #28 – Seattle Seahawks – Lawrence Jackson, DE, USC

Steve Young wanted the Seahawks to get a tight end, which could have been Dustin Keller from Purdue, but instead they went with a defensive lineman, like just about everyone else in the draft so far. Bolstering the defense is very, very important for the Seahawks. In the NFC West alone, they have to deal with unstoppable offensive forces like Kurt Warner and Cardinals, Shaun Hill and the 49ers, and Stephen Jackson’s bulging disk and the Rams. Niners are on the clock, we’re switching up so I can do this next one.
