28. Seattle Seahawks Take Lawrence Jackson, DE, USC in NFL Draft

USC defensive end Lawrence Jackson is a good pass rusher who had double-digit sacks as a senior and who had an impressive showing at the scouting combine, but I'm not a big fan of this selection, made with the 28th pick in the NFL draft by the Seahawks.

In my view, Jackson looked a little better than he really is because of the players he was surrounded by at USC. And I also think that there are better defensive ends still available than Jackson, especially Clemson's Phillip Merling.

The Seahawks view themselves as Super Bowl contenders, and maybe they think Jackson is a guy who can help them win now, but they could have made better use of the 28th pick in the draft.
