Seahawks, at 28th Overall, Select...

DE Lawrence Jackson

The Seahawks, for moving back to the 28th with the Cowboys, got their 5th and 7th rounder. 

This pick really surprises me. What cost the Seahawks most last season, especially in the playoffs, was their inability to really stop the run. You don't hear a whole lot about it because they aren't as bad as a lot of teams, but the Seahawks are trying to become one of the better teams in the NFL, and they need run-stuffing ability to do that. They should have taken DT Kentwan Balmer. Pass-rush is a great thing, but stopping the run is important too.
