Saturday (Rounds 1 through 3) and Sunday (Rounds 4 through 7)
TV: ESPN, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday; 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Sunday. ESPN2, 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday; 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday
Seahawks: Have seven picks, including No. 23 in the first round
1, Jonathan Vilma, Miami
2, Daryl Smith, Georgia Tech
3, Courtney Watson, Notre Dame
4, Dontarrious Thomas, Auburn
5, Richard Seigler, Oregon State
Summary: Vilma is probably the only first-rounder in the bunch, but his size remains a question mark at the NFL level.
Seahawks’ outlook: The bottom line here is that the Seahawks have no healthy middle linebackers until training camp, so they’ll probably take one at some point. Will Vilma be available at No. 23? If not, they’ll probably wait until after Round 1 to address the position.
1, D.J. Williams, Miami
2, Karlos Dansby, Auburn
3, Michael Boulware, Florida State
4, Teddy Lehman, Oklahoma
5, Keyaron Fox, Georgia Tech
Summary: Some big-time names here, but there are questions as to how they’ll make the transition to the NFL. Williams has been compared to Tampa Bay’s Derrick Brooks.
Seahawks’ outlook: Chad Brown is aging, and Anthony Simmons has been plagued by injuries. Seattle likes its depth with D.D. Lewis and Isaiah Kacyvenski, but don’t be surprised if the Seahawks add someone to the mix.
