The Seahawks only could muster a field-goal on Saturday night against the Cowboys. Matt Hasselbeck played very little so that Coach Holmgren could get a good look at the back-ups. Seneca Wallace completed 11 of 17 passes for 117 yards. David Greene completed 7 of 11 passes for 53 yards. This just proves that the season hinges on Matt Hasselbeck’s health.
Obomanu is a possession receiver that projects out to a #4 of #5 receiver in the NFL. It helps that he’s fearless going over the middle to make a catch. He also should help on special teams.
Obomanu played in 51 games at Auburn (23 starts) and has caught 97 passes for 1,313 yards (13.5 avg) and 18 TDs.
Plackemeier had the strongest leg in the draft this season. He’s a big guy (6’3″, 249) that really gets into the ball and gets good hang time.
Plackemeier played in 44 games at Wake Forest and punted 220 times (45.3 avg) and placed 50 of those punts inside the 20.
Kirtman has nice size (6’0″, 232) and runs a 4.8 40. He’s a good blocker and receiver who could push Mack Strong for his starting job. Kirtman also is a very good special teams player.
Kirtman played in 46 games at USC (26 starts) and rushed for 94 yards (4.5 ypc) and a TD. He also caught 46 passes for 470 yards (10.2 avg) and 2 TDs.
Sims is a very good run blocker and he’s very strong at the point of attack. He’s not very fast and needs a little work on his pass protection. He could get some time quick for the Seahawks because of the departure of Steve Hutchinson, and he may be able to handle it from day #1. Sims was a good pick for the Seahawks.
Tapp is a little small (6’1″, 252) to play defensive end, but he’s very fast (4.8 40). He gets upfield very quickly and makes plays in the other team’s backfield. He does lack the sand in his shoes if the other team runs right at him, as he can be over-powered at the point of attack. Could wind up being a pass-rush specialist until he adds a little more bulk.
Tapp played in 53 games at Virginia Tech (30 starts) and made 187 tackles, 40 tackles for a loss, 21.5 sacks, batted down six passes and caused six fumbles.
 1. Adam Vinatieri, Colts (6) Vinatieri is Mr.Clutch, and for that he becomes the kicker for the best offense in the NFL.
 2. Jeff Wilkins, Rams (7) Wilkins is a dominant kicker every so often, and he will be one this season.
 3. Shayne Graham, Bengals (5) Has increased his points scored 4 straight seasons, and scored 131 pts. last season.
 4. Mike Vanderjagt, Cowboys (3) Is the most accurate kicker in NFL history. Should be a weapon for Cowboys.
 5. Neil Rackers, Cardinals (9) Set NFL record last season making 40 FGs. Cards offense will score more TDs this season.
 6. Jason Elam, Broncos (4) Mr. Reliable. He always puts up points, and gets a few long ones at Mile High.
 7. David Akers, Eagles (9) Offense will need him more without a big-time receiver. He’s healthy and ready to rebound.
 8. Nate Kaeding, Chargers (3) Has a strong leg and might need it with Rivers replacing Brees.
 9. Matt Bryant, Buccaneers (4) He’s a sleeper here, as the Bucs offense should improve this year. He makes some long ones.
10. Jay Feely, Giants (4) Led the NFL in kicker points (148) last season, and it wasn’t a fluke.
11. Josh Brown, Seahawks (5)Â Brown is a solid kicker, with a solid offense.
12. Ryan Longwell, Vikings (6)Â Kicking inside should help him, and he hit alot of long field goals anyway.
13. Steve Gostkowski, Patriots (6) He’s a rookie, but he’s also on a good offensive team. Can he handle the pressure?
14. Sebastian Janikowski, Raiders (3)Â He has superb league strength and the Raiders should be a little better on offense.
15. Lester Tynes, Chiefs (3) Had a good season last year, but have to wait and see what Edwards’ offense looks like.
16. Olindo Mare, Dolphins (8) Marlins won’t make the playoffs, so he should be ok.
17. Matt Stover, Ravens (7)Â Getting a little long in tooth, but still accurate.
18. Rian Lindell, Bills (8)Â One of the best offensive weapons on the Bills, what does that tell you?
19. Jeff Reed, Steelers (4)Â Not very accurate, and questions all over the offense.
20. Jason Hanson, Lions (8)Â He could be a sleeper with Mike Martz running the offense in Detroit.
21. Mike Nugent, Jets (9)Â The Jets offense could be bad, real bad.
22. John Hall, Redskins (8) Could shoot up the list if he could stay healthy….hasn’t been for two years in a row.
23. John Kasay, Panthers (9)Â Getting a little old and has had some injuries recently.
24. Josh Scobee, Jaguars (6) Can hit the long one, but isn’t an accurate kicker overall.
25. Rob Bironas, Titans (7)Â Is a good kicker that will improve as much as the Titans offense improves.
26. John Carney, Saints (7) Still accurate at 42 years old, but can’t hit the deep ones anymore.
27. Phil Dawson, Browns (6)Â A good kicker that would move up this list if the offense improves.
28. Kris Brown, Texans (5)Â Brown is not very accurate, and the Texans have not been very good on offense.
29. Joe Nedney, 49ers (7) Only missed two kicks all of last season…..needs more opportunities.
30. Robbie Gould, Bears (7)Â Not very accurate and currently in a battle for his job.
31. Billy Cundiff, Packers (6) Has been bouncing around for a while. Not much upside here.
32. Tony Yelk, Falcons (5) Rookie trying to win a job on an offense that doesn’t light up the scoreboard.
 1. Peyton Manning, Colts. (6)  This is a no-brainer. The greatest fantasy QB of his time.
 2. Tom Brady, Patriots (6)  The greatest QB of his time. Spreads the ball around, and always puts up numbers.
 3. Trent Green, Chiefs (3) Green has put up three straight 4,000 yards passing season together. Under-rated.
 4. Carson Palmer, Bengals (5) Knee is a huge question mark. Has alot of weapons in the passing game.
 5. Eli Manning, Giants (4) Manning started to emerge from brothers’ shadow. Has a good supporting cast.
 6. Marc Bulger, Rams (7) Only needs to stay healthy to lead the greatest show on turf.
 7. Duante Culpepper, Dolphins (8) Huge risk/reward pick. Has a huge arm, but can Chambers imitate Moss?
 8. Donovan McNabb, Eagles (9) Probably would have ranked higher if he had at least one good receiver.
 9. Matt Hasselbeck, Seahawks (5) Injury to Darrell Jackson hurts. Plus Shaun Alexander will get his carries.
10. Drew Bledsoe, Cowboys (3) If T.O. behaves, this is too low for Bledsoe. T.O. always makes his QB better.
11. Brett Favre, Packers (6)Â Running backs look healthy, which will put less pressure on him to win game himself.
12. Kurt Warner, Cardinals (9) Warner would be higher on this list if he weren’t so brittle. Risk/Reward pick.
13. Drew Brees, Saints (7)Â Always scared of injured throwing shoulders, but he has a good supporting cast.
14. Aaron Brooks, Raiders (3) Hard to hold last season against any Saint. Will thrive throwing ball to Randy Moss.
15. Jake Delhomme, Panthers (9)Â Better in real football than fantasy football.
16. Jake Plummer, Broncos (4) Will he feel the heat with Jay Cutler around? If not he’ll be ok.
17. David Carr, Texans (5)Â Has shown improvement the last two seasons, and now he has Eric Moulds.
18. Billy Volek, Titans (7)Â Volek has been a superb back-up, and now he gets the keys to the car for a season.
19. Steve McNair, Ravens (7) McNair is only this far down the list because he’s brittle. Reunited with Mason will help.
20. Philip Rivers, Chargers (3) Risk/Reward pick. Not much experience, but a very good supporting cast.
21. Mark Brunell, Redskins (8)Â Nice supporting group, but injury prone and old.
22. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers (4) Lots of questions. Will he be ok or gun shy? Steelers run alot and that hurts him.
23. Jon Kitna, Lions (8)Â If he wins the job, he could put up huge numbers with Mike Martz calling the plays.
24. Chris Simms, Buccaneers (4) For first time since high-school, he’s the best QB on his team.
25. Brad Johnson, Vikings (6) 38 year old QB that likes the short pass. Will he last a whole season?
26. Michael Vick, Falcons (5) Vick is the most electrifying QB in the league. But his 150 yards passing won’t help you.
27. Byron Leftwich, Jaguars (6)Â He has never played a complete season, and his receiving corps is downright awful.
28. Chad Pennington, Jets (9) Pennington is a good QB when he plays….which isn’t very often.
29. Charlie Frye, Browns (6) Looked ok in his brief trial at the end of the season. Having Edwards and Winslow will help.
30. Kelly Holcomb, Bills (8) He should win the job, but if you draft a Bills QB…you need your head examined.
31. Rex Grossman, Bears (7) Look up the word “brittle†in the dictionary and you’ll see Rex Grossman’s face.
32. Alex Smith, 49ers (7) He’s got a long way to go to be an average QB.
33. Brian Griese, Bears (7) Sure to start some games, the only question is when.
34. Matt Leinhart, Cardinals (9)Â Leinhart probably will get the keys to the explosive offense at some point.
35. Gus Frerotte, Rams (7) Follows head-coach Scott Linehan around like a puppy. Could see some time.
36. Josh McCown, Lions (8) Back-up to Kitna to start the season. Lions QB of near future.
37. Matt Schaub, Falcons (5)Â Better throwing QB than starter Michael Vick.
38. David Garrard, Jaguars (6)Â Plays well every season after Leftwich gets hurt.
39. Jeff Garcia, Eagles (9)Â Still has a little left in the tank if McNabb goes down.
40. Patrick Ramsey, Jets (9) QB in waiting behind Pennington. Only a matter of time until he plays.
41. Trent Dilfer, 49ers (7) Coach Nolan won’t let his team’s season go to waste if Smith is over-matched again.
42. Jim Sorgi, Colts (6) Played well in limited action. Has a super supporting cast if forced into action.
43. JP Losman, Bills (8)Â Good athlete for a QB, but not a good passer.
44. Kyle Boller, Ravens (7) Behind McNair, so he could get a chance. Played well last December.
45. Joey Harrington, Dolphins (8)Â Could get playing time in Miami, but that was never an issue in Detroit.
46. Anthony Wright, Bengals (5) Wright is a good athlete and the Bengals have good receivers…but, Wright is not a good passer.
47. Vince Young, Titans (7)Â If the Titans throw him to the wolves, he will get chewed up and spit out.
48. Jay Cutler, Broncos (4) Cutler’s year will be next season.
49. Sage Rosenfels, Texans (5)Â Not very productive in limited chances.
50. Charlie Batch, Steelers (4) Running team, but if Big Ben’s head hurts he might get forced into action.
51. Chris Weinke, Panthers (9) Had his chance, and then the Panthers signed Delhomme.
52. Todd Collins, Redskins (8) Playing behind Brunell with a loaded supporting cast.
53. Damon Huard, Chiefs (3)Â Chiefs would probably run alot if he were forced into action.
54. Jamie Martin, Saints (7) Good completion % usually. A decent back-up.
55. Jay Fiedler, Buccaneers (4) Still hasn’t thrown a pass in camp. Game manager that wouldn’t put up big numbers.
56. Matt Cassel, Patriots (6) Hasn’t started a real game since high school.
57. A.J. Feeley, Chargers (3) If you have a penalty for pick-offs, don’t say this name.
58. Andrew Walter, Raiders (3) Hasn’t played a down, but has good receivers.
59. Aaron Rodgers, Packers (6)Â The fact that the Packers drafted a QB speaks volumes.
60. Tim Hasselbeck, Giants (4) Giants have a good supporting cast, but Hasselbeck hasn’t proved he could take advantage of that.
61. Ken Dorsey, Browns (6)Â Trying to hold off Derek Anderson for back-up job.
62. Seneca Wallace, Seahawks (5)Â Not a good passer.
63. Tony Romo, Cowboys (3) No experience…..scary.
64. Mike McMahon, Vikings (6)Â Good runner, but the worst throwing QB in the league.
Darrell Jackson will be out until late August because he’s still feeling pain in his surgically repaired knee that cost him most of last season. This is not good news for the Seahawks, but at least they brought Nate Burleson in.
Jerramy Stevens should be so much better than he is. He has the speed and moves to get open with regularity, but one has to wonder….does he really have hands made of stone, or does he hear footsteps? If you can hear the footsteps, you’re gonna take a hit anyway, so you might as well catch the ball. Stevens has played in 60 games (20 starts) and has caught 108 passes for 1,227 yards (11.4 avg) and 11 TDs.
Itula Mili doesn’t have the physical skills of Stevens, but the ball doesn’t bounce off his hands too much. Mili has played in 104 games (40 starts) and has caught 154 passes for 1,674 yards (10.9 avg) and 13 TDs.
