Seahawks general manager Tim Ruskell on Friday said there is a good chance the team will trade down in the April 26-27 draft in order to acquire additional picks. The Seahawks hold the 25th (first round), 55th (second round) and 86th (third round) selections. Seattle does not have a fifth-round pick, which was traded to Jacksonville for running back Alvin Pearman last season. Ruskell said because the Seahawks signed running backs to fill a need in free agency, they have the flexibility to move around in any round to acquire extra picks.

What they are saying is there is not enough talent to make a first round. They are right. Your chances of getting value are as good in round two and three.

Is this year's draft a little light, or does it just look that way to me?
It's probably me.

Check out my updated mock draft at http://rmensch.blogspot.com

I have Seattle taking Dustin Keller right now, but they could trade out of the first round and still get him.

I don't think that the Rams need Alexander...Jackson will be better this year. I see a better fit with swapping Alexander for the Raiders first rounder.

Keller will be around in the second day, so I think the 'Hawks are doing the right thing ...... as always. Bring back Shaunie though!!!
