Seattle needs O-line help, but the prospect of making a popular hometown pick is just too tempting to pass up. So with the 25th pick, the Seahawks select:




QB Jake Locker, Washington





Ideally, Locker will have a year or two to learn behind Hasselbeck before taking over as the starter. Also, in the real world, this would enable the club to trade Charlie Whitehurst to one of the many QB-starved teams for an additional early-round pick.
