Starting tomorrow evening, a whole new wave of players will be labeled by a draft status that will forever be mentioned along with their accomplishments. A "bust" will be called such because of his 1st-round status; an All-Pro will become such "despite" being a day 3 pick.
Grahamhawker pointed out that Earl Thomas is the only 1st rounder on the Seahawks. What if we could go back in time knowing what we know? Disregard the strengths and weaknesses, plateaus and cliffs of previous years' classes. Take into account what these players have accomplished and what they could mean to the Seahawks. Given that, in what round would you expect these guys to have been drafted?
Examples: Sherman and Wilson would clearly be 1st rounders, as indicated with the 1. To me, guys like KJ and Doug presently look like they "should" have been 2nd rounders. But YMMV, so... have at it. And try it without looking up where guys were actually drafted. More fun that way.
PS: I only listed players who have contributed or veterans expected to compete for a role. If I missed some hidden gems, add 'em.

For me, there are 10 first-round talents on the current Seahawks roster, based on how they have performed in their NFL careers. 8 second-rounders.
