Success breeds imitations...
As I've watched the NFL Draft these past few days, I cannot help but notice how some newly drafted players are being compared to players on the Super Bowl champion Seahawks' defense. When other teams are choosing players, trying to replicate the Seahawks model, the original can afford to move freely up and down the draft board picking talent to join their team.
There's so much trust in the John and Pete, and their scouts, Seahawks' fans aren't barking too loudly. Many fans can't say they've even seen of some of these players in action! And, in past years where the Seahawks' draftees would be roundly criticized, the NFL "experts" haven't nearly been ... I guess the shine of a Lombardi buys you leeway.
Could this be the year when the Seahawks' brain trust actually stumbles ... that they become so full of themselves that their overconfidence impacts their judgement?
No doubt, there will be a story or two about draft grades. The best way to judge this class of young men coming into the fold is after a few years within Pete's program. But, don't be surprised if someone grades the Seahawks a "C" or an incomplete.
I'm good with that...

Feeling a Draft
We are inching closer to Draft Day for the 32 NFL teams. It's pure folly trying to pick who will go to what teams. But if you want to try, go to the NFL page and play their Predict the Pick on the "Fantasy" link. First prize - tickets to the Seahawks home opener!!!
Speculation is that the Seahawks want to trade down to gain more picks in this year's draft. Will they find a willing partner?
Manziel continues to be a hot topic. And, football executives have been expressing some doubts about Johnny Football. Is this all a smoke screen, and are teams trying to create doubt hoping that he will fall into their hands later in day one? Could Manziel tumble out of the first round entirely? Mike Mayock of the NFL Network notes 5 teams in the top 8 slots of the draft board have QB needs, but Mayock isn't quite sold that Manziel will be taken by one of them. Super Bowl winning GM/NFL Network analyst Charley Casserly doesn't see Manziel being picked in the first round at all!
Which leads us to a fan of Johnny Football - Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. One thing for Seahawks management to ponder ... if Johnny Manziel fell all the way down to pick 32, would Carroll and company pick him?
Choices, choices...
