Rang dang doodle
Just when we thought we’d posted our final item on mock drafts, Rob Rang has updated his. Rang, a comrade and contributor to Seahawks.com’s series of articles previewing the draft, now has the Seahawks opting for Wisconsin left tackle Gabe Carimi with the 25th pick in tonight’s first round. Rang’s rationale on the 6-foot-7, 314-pound [...]

Eleven involved quarterbacks, including five in a row at one point. Not surprising, since incumbent starter Matt Hasselbeck is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent when the league calendar year begins and the [...]

The Seahawks have a new offensive coordinator in Darrell Bevell and a new offensive line coach/assistant head coach in Tom Cable, but don’t expect wholesale changes in the team’s philosophical approach.
