Seahawks and Drafting

It was written in the paper today that Seattle has drafted 12 of their 22 Super Bowl starters in the last 4 drafts, and 8 of the 12 came after the 1st round.  I'm always reminded when watching the NFL that despite all the superstar headlines, the league is really about evaluating, drafting, and developing.  In football you need a lot of good players, not just 4 or 5 splashy names.  It appears that Carroll has brought that eye to the NFL like Jimmy Johnson did.  It was also kindly noted that the Cowboys drafted the immortal Josh Thomas 11 slots ahead of Richard Sherman.  Awesome.
