I was really upset we took Bobby Wagner with Lavonte David still on the board. Who knows how they would have done if their places were swapped, but it took me a long time to warm up to Bobby.

Aaron Curry. I thought he was going to be special.

He was special all right.

I'm not afraid to admit when he got emotional after being drafted, my heart filled and my eyes welled up. Man, EVERYONE, was wrong on that pick! I thought he was our future. Was anyone right about Curry!?

I really wanted Randy Moss. I didn't care about background reports. When he fell to us for the taking, I wasn't pleased the Hawks also passed. The selection of Anthony Simmons wasn't bad, but not a championship move that selecting Moss would represent. I understand, but at the same time play to win the game. I thought it would've been a worthwhile risk. Instead, a safe pick that essentially got us nowhere.

Seattle passing on the Legendary, Randy Moss….that hurts!

Not as much as passing on Creed Humphrey. /s

Jerramy Stevens. I will never get excited for a rookie Seahawk TE again. Listening to Hasselbeck talk about how it is "Unfair" to use Stevens against opposing defenses, got me super fired up!

I've never been livid about a pick. More like indifferent. The pick I think I was most satisfied with at the time that turned into a turd was Rick Mirer. I remember being excited that they finally took a QB in the first round. Be careful what you wish for. At least they recouped a first round pick that later turned into Shawn Springs.

You can't win if you don't play though.

Im emotional, so I have many. Here's a few of the highlights:

Great pick I hated

- I was cursing up a storm when we took Lofa. Not only was it a major reach, but we traded UP to get him? I thought it was unfathomably stupid. Lofa was instrumental in getting us over the NFC hump into our first Super Bowl. Meanwhile, with our original pick, the Panthers took a RB who ended his career with fewer rushing yards than the following players had as Seahawks alone: Charlie Whitehurst, Trent Dilfer, Brock Huard, Troymaine Pope, Bryce Brown, Freddie Swain, Bo Scarborough, two punters I've never heard of, Charlie Frye.

- I literally threw a chair when we drafted Marcus Trufant with Jimmy Kennedy still on the board. My guy that draft was Johnathan Sullivan. I was so pissed when the Saints traded up in front of us and took him.

- If I had been running the 2010 draft, we would have left the first round with Dez Bryant and Jimmy Clausen instead of Russell Okung and Earl Thomas. That's probably a sentence I should delete.

Bad picks I hyped up

- I referred to Terreal Bierria as "Rodney Harrison" with range. Whoops.

- I was a HUGE fan of Kelly Jennings going into his draft. That was my #1 target for us that year. I actually think he was less of a disaster than he's largely remembered, and people have forgotten how well he did shutting down T.O. in a playoff game once, but wow did he have some of the worst ball skills I've ever seen. It doesn't matter if no receiver can shake you if you never know where the ball is.

- Malik McDowell was my #1 target going into his draft. I did think he was a risk, but not for the reason the teams that were scared off of him either were or should have been.

- I thought Amara Darboh was a crazy steal. I saw that guy make so many clutch catches in college. I don't get how he busted so spectacularly.

-----------------------------------------

I hated the Aaron Curry pick, but that was more about positional value. I thought he's at least be decent. I was Team Crabtree that year.

After reading this post i"m withdrawing any support I might have had for you as a potential future GM.

Mirer played and couldn't win.

Curry without a doubt. The Boz of course. I think a lot of people forget how phenomenal both of them were in college.
"safest pick in the draft"

has to be these two!

"Dee Eskridge"
- John Schneider probably

So try try again.

I say Dee eskridge out of recency bias. Box was underwhelming. He got trucked by Bo. Curry for sure was the next LT. Now I wonder if it's not Murphy and Spoon, we could've had Verse and Carter....

I absolutely hated the Darrell Jackson pick. Mostly because he waa a Gator, but I didn't think he would be any better than WR3 for a few seasons before flaming out.

I believed we got the steal of the draft with Rashad Moore DT in the sixth round. He had great technique and he couldn't be that bad physically to flame out. We did get a couple of decent seasons out of him, but he couldn't crack the rotation of Marcus Tubbs, Rocky Bernard and Chartric Darby in 2005. He was out of football all that year and then played sparingly for another couple of seasons.

seabowl · 2025-04-29T10:27:32-0700

I at the time it happened hated the Galloway pick. Nothing against Joey, but I definitely wanted them to take Warren Sapp. Still would’ve been better off with Sapp, but it wasn’t too bad that they got two first round picks for Galloway and turning one of them into Shaun Alexander.

That was the only time in the sixth round we took the #1 player I wanted when the pick came up, and was the second-latest that happened in any draft (Ryan Plackemeier). I thought he and Cedric Woodard were going to be a revelation.

silvergun · 2025-04-29T10:58:53-0700

Curry or Bozworth..... I'd probably go with Curry overall. The Boz at least showed up in a couple games. Curry was worthless.

I was excited about both though

Rick Mirer was fine until everyone figured out he couldn't throw to the left side. Luckly, that didn't seem to matter to the Bears when they gave the Hawks a 1st rder for him and Hawks drafted Shawn Springs with it.

Nv_Hawks · 2025-04-29T12:18:24-0700

My all time grievance. The Cowboys selected Tony Dorsett with the second overall pick in 1977, which they had acquired from the Hawks in exchange for the 14th overall (Steve August), 30th overall (Tom Lynch), 41st overall (Terry Beeson), and 54th overall (Glenn Carano) picks.
