Seattle Seahawks 2009 Draft Preview

(Sports Network) - Would the Seahawks draft the heir apparent to Matt Hasselbeck at No. 4? Possible, but not likely. With Jim Mora taking over for Mike Holmgren, the focus will probably shift to defense, and the trade of Julian Peterson to the Lions last month makes pass rushing help a particular need. Texas hybrid end Brian Orapko would seem to be a fit for the Hawks, if they can't get Wake Forest's Aaron Curry, that is. Otherwise, Seattle has a need at tackle since the declining Walter Jones is coming off microfracture surgery. Apart from the offensive line, which should net at least three picks in the interests of depth, Seattle could use another playmaker at the wide receiver position, which was a revolving door last season. Also, the running back corps lost Maurice Morris and Leonard Weaver to free agency, so another body would be valuable there.
