NorthWest Sports Blog brings you daily features on Oregon, Washington State, and BC amateur and pro sports teams.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks’ blogger Brett Bivens talks about Seattle’s 2013 NFL Draft class in comparison to the classes of other teams. I do not believe you can grade a draft class for at least 3 years. Before that you are grading the team on player potential and not production. There is a reason Mel Kiper works for ESPN and not an NFL franchise. Maybe later this offseason I will take a look at the 2010 Seahawks draft class, the first class of the Pete Carroll and John Schneider era.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brandon Choate tells us what he loved and hated about today’s NFL draft selections by the Seattle Seahawks, In the second round, the Seahawks traded picks with the Ravens and selected RB Christine Michael out of Texas A&M with the last selection of the second round. In the third round, they took DT Jordan Hill from Penn State. Pete Carroll & John Schneider are hoping for some more draft day magic on Saturday with 10 picks.

NWSB Writer Brett Bivens gives an update on the undrafted free agent rookies acquired by the Seattle Seahawks. These 6 guys are players who are looking to either impress the Seahawks enough to keep them or put enough solid performance on tape that some other team will be interested in giving them a chance.

Seattle Seahawks beat writer, 12th man, and Seahawks season ticket holder Brett Bivens is back with a rookie report card after their first game in the NFL. Brett gives us a pick by pick, good and bad, review of each of the new Seahawks in the first preseason game and during training camp.

NWSB Insider Brandon Choate brings you a list to keep you busy this offseason. While many are anticipating football season’s arrival, Brandon has broken down the 5 best and 5 worst transaction of the Pete Carroll and John Schneider era in Seattle. From letting Matt Hasselbeck and Josh Wilson go to acquiring Marshawn Lynch and Leon Washinton, PCJS has left their stamp on this team.
NWSB Insider Brandon Choate brings us a closer look at the Seattle Seahawks 2012 third round draft choice. The Seahawks selected Robert Turbin – RB – Utah State. Another surprising pick to most outside the Northwest, Robert Turbin is exactly what Pete and John were looking for in a backup for Marshawn Lynch. His strength and athleticism make him a force to be reckoned with.
NWSB Insider Brandon Choate brings us a closer look at the Seattle Seahawks 2012 third round draft choice. The Seahawks selected Russell Wilson – QB – Wisconsin. This was a surprise pick to many, but is guaranteed to bring one hell of a competition for the starting QB role in Seattle. Despite the knocks on his height, Wilson has defied the odds and excelled at 2 different schools under 2 different styles of offense.
NWSB Insider Brandon Choate brings us a closer look at the Seattle Seahawks 2012 second round draft choice. With the15th pick in the second round, the Seahawks selected Bobby Wagner – LB – Utah State. Drafting Wagner fills the hole at linebacker left bu David Hawthorne. Wagner possesses all the characteristic traits of a Pete and John team and should excel in this young group of Seahawks linebackers.
NWSB Managing editor “Q” weighs in with another 2012 NFL draft article on the Seattle Seahawks. Below are some really cool video’s he found of all the picks in the draft class that video existed for. Sorry J.R. Sweezy and Greg Scruggs, you’d better contact YouTube.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Matt Church tells us today about what is actually going on under the hood of the Seahawks draft machine. How the brains work on Pete Carroll, and John Schneider. We know they like speed over size. 2. They trust what they see. They aren’t sold on a quarterback for the 2012 season. Listen Up Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson, Russell Wilson and Josh Portis.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Matt Church reports today on the 2012 Post draft free agency draft tracker. Only four UDFAs made the team last year, so don’t expect to hear everyone’s name come September (Seattle now has a whopping 11 WRs on the roster). Remember Doug Baldwin folks? He was a UDFA in 2011. Can Jermaine Kearse, Lavasier Tunei, or Rishaw Johnson make the club?
