At 9:30 this morning the Seahawks top draft pick Linebacker Aaron Curry walked into team headquarters in Renton with his mother Chris and Fiance Jamilla. At 11 a.m. the former Wake Forest star will meet with the Seattle media for the first time in person.
Curry topped the list of seven draftees by the Seahawks in the 74th NFL draft which ended yesterday afternoon around 4:15 Seattle time.
The Seahawks did a lot of trading with other teams to select the players on their pre draft wish list.
In the second round they drafted center/guard Max Ynger from the University of Oregon. Deon Butler, a receiver from Penn State was chosen in the third round and quarterback Mike Teel of Rutgers was picked in the 6th round.
The Seahawks had three compensatory picks in round seven and chose the folowing players. Courtney Greene a safety from Rutgers, Nick Reed and defensive end from Oregon and Cameron Morrah a tight end from California.
All the new players plus several un drafted invitees will be here Friday for the start of a three day mini camp.
U.S. Open Cup
The SoundersFC host Real Salt Lake Tuesday night at Starfire Sports Complex in a play in match for the U.S. Open Cup. Any soccer team in the nation can enter this tournament . This reminds me of the way they used to do the state basketball tournament in Indiana. All schools no matter what sized student body were able to compete in one single tournament with one champion. That was the inspiration for the movie Hoosiers starring Gene Hackman and Barbara Hersey a few years ago.
Seattle will mix it's line up using some reserve players and some starters. Kickoff is 7 p.m. Tuesday night.
