Just came from the 5th annual Seahawks Draft Bowl Home Run Derby. Breaking news!!! The coaches beat the Scouts 24-23 on a walk off homer by Defensive Quality Control coach Tom Headlee.

The annual event serves as a much needed break from months of draft preview work by the scouts, coaches and front office.

The home run dreby was played on the practice fields in back of the Seahawks facility. It was a five inning affair with each team getting eights outs per inning. Anything that isn't a home run is an out.

Former Mariner great Jay Buhner threw out the first pitch and later commented on the slugging skills of the coaches and scouts. "These guys are pretty good, they use the old, swing in case you hit it method, I did that when I played."

The coaches started fast with nine consecutive homers in the first inning then after a 10th homer General Manager Tim Ruskell, captain of the Scouts team invoked the "ten run rule," calling for the inning to end.

Coaches captain Jim Mora argued the rule change but to no avail.

The game came down to the bottom of the 5th inning tied 23-23 when Headlee's home run ended it.

Tomorrow the guys really get down to work when the NFL draft begins at 1 p.m. pacific time. The Seahawks have the fourth overall pick and speculation is running rampant about their choice. They also have the fourth pick in the second round, 37th overall and there's been some interest among other teams in that pick but no indication that the Seahawks will trade down.

The draft continues Sunday with rounds 3 through 7. Overall the Seahawks have 10 picks in the draft.
