NFL.com Post-Draft Power Rankings

RANK 18
SEAHAWKS
Overshadowing what many deemed a subpar draft for Seattle was the selection of Shaquem Griffin early in the fifth round (No. 141). The speedy Griffin learned how to be an impact player despite having one hand. You could tell draft analysts didn't want to question whether that would hamper Griffin too much in the pro game. My brief and limited impression of the new Seahawk is that he doesn't need anyone feeling sorry for him or tiptoeing around his circumstances. He was, after all, named American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year. Another pick I liked: Day 3 find Michael Dickson (Round 5, No. 149), a punter out of Texas. With kickoffs nearly legislated out of the game, winning in the punting game becomes more important. Dickson was a smart choice.

I'm pretty happy though.. Man, it always makes me feel good when all the talking heads tell me that the Seahawks had a bad draft, because it means we had a good one!

It's when they talk about how good our draft is that I get nervous. Because they're all idiots... morons, there is not one of the bastards that ever gets a thing right.

They went on and on about our 2013 draft, our 14 draft, our 15 draft, yea... not so great... all of those drafts were piss poor. Last two years they were *meh* on our draft. They thought that we should have taken that guy who ended up in zona' ... instead of trading down (where we got Reed), and last year they thought that Griff was a reach... and that there were better DB's out there, but they liked our first round pick and thought he was such a good fit here.... *cough*

It's always the opposite of what they say, every damned time.

28. Cleveland Browns (0-16) †4
Their navigation of draft board open to serious debate. That said, roster continues to rapidly improve for team that may approach 8-8.

27. Seattle Seahawks (9-7) ↓16
Didn't feel like they did enough to address pressing needs ... unless RB Rashaad Penny makes O-line shine, keeps defense off field.

I agree with Rob Staton. Talking heads grades aside, I love the message this sends. "We are getting back to Seattle football, and we don't give an expletive if you like it!"
