| Round | Pick | Pos | Player | School |
|---|
| 1 | 4 | OLB | Aaron Curry | Wake Forest |
| Aaron Curry is the top linebacker in the draft and should immediately upgrade both the run and pass defense. As tempting as the offensive tackle is, Curry should make more of an immediate impact. Passing on Mark Sanchez was smart because it would have been like waving the rebuilding flag. |
| 2 | 17 | C | Max Unger | Oregon |
| Unger is a solid value pick at this point. His versatility could allow him to play multiple positions along the offensive line. |
| 3 | 27 | WR | Deon Butler | Penn State |
| The Seahawks target a return specialist in the third round continuing a 3rd round trend. Excellent speed but probably will never be more than a slot receiver. |
| 6 | 5 | QB | Mike Teel | Rutgers |
| Teel is not a great talent but is a smart player with a decent arm and was one of the top quarterbacks in the country the 2nd half of the 2008 season. |
| 7 | 36 | S | Courtney Greene | Rutgers |
| The Seahawks get a solid 7th round value in S Courtney Greene. He should have an opportunity to compete for a spot on a weak safety depth chart. Greene was mid-round prospect before having a sub-par senior season. Good hitter and decent all-around skills. |
| 7 | 38 | DE | Nick Reed | Oregon |
| Reed is DE/OLB tweener. A good late round value who was the Pac 10 defensive player of the year. Lacks ideal size and speed but has a tremendous motor and could earn a spot in a DE rotation or as a strongside linebacker. |
| 7 | 39 | TE | Cameron Morrah | California |
| Another solid Pac-10 selection for the Seahawks. Morrah has good size and was an excellent red zone receiver. Tremendous athlete for the position. |
