Seahawks to choose No. 4
Posted by Danny O'Neil
Seattle will hold the No. 4 pick in the April draft. The Seahawks and Browns each finished with a 4-12 record. Seattle will choose fourth -- ahead of Cleveland -- by virtue of having a lower collective opponent's winning percentage, which is the tiebreaker in determining draft order.
Rob Staton has a Seahawks draft blog that's worth a look and he lists the players chosen with the fourth selection in recent drafts: 2008: Oakland chose RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas; 2007: Tampa Bay chose DE Gaines Adams, Clemson; 2006: OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Virginia; 2005: RB Cedric Benson from Texas; 2004: Chargers acquire QB Philip Rivers in draft-day trade with New York Giants. Rivers was from North Carolina State.
It is the highest pick Seattle has held since it chose Shawn Springs with the third choice in 1997. This will be the first time Seattle held a pick in the first half of the first round since 2003 when the Seahawks chose Marcus Trufant with the 11th overall pick. Seattle has not chosen a player in the top 10 since choosing Koren Robinson with the No. 9 pick in 2001.
