Three of them, mostly from areas where the 9ers have depth and the Seahawks could use depth, but more importantly these are players who I think are good depth and scheme fits for the Seahawks:
Kendrick Bourne, WR: Generally good at everything, but the only area he truly excels in as a run blocker from the WR position. That fits. He'll like lose out to Jordan Matthews for a spot on the 9ers, but somebody is going to sign him and be happy with him as depth WR.
Adrian Colbert, FS (with positional versatility at SS): Looked explosive and like the answer as the starter at FS two years ago, but then missed almost all of last year and has had hamstring issues this preseason. He's a great special teams contributor, is an amazing athlete, and I think he still has a lot of upside, especially as a second stringer. The 9ers are likely going to cut him (which I think is a mistake), but he has played single high in the Seahawks' scheme, and excelled at it.
Joshua Garnett, OG: His primary issue has been health, but the secondary issue is he was drafted for a Harbaugh offense predicated on moving bodies in the interior run game, not an outside zone offense He is, in essence, the backup version of Mike Iupati. If he stays healthy I think a run first team that focuses more on moving the pile on inside runs will be happy with him.
