SEATTLE — So now that the Seahawks have the ninth pick in the draft — their highest since 2010 — what they can expect to get out of it?
Before the answer arrives when the first round is held April 28 it's worth taking a look at the history of the ninth pick as a reference point.
The good news? As you'd expect with a pick that high, you can definitely find a Hall of Famer there — four players taken in that spot have made it to the Hall, including University of Washington legend Hugh McElhenny, drafted there in 1952 by the 49ers. And there will be at least one more, as the recently-retired Luke Kuechly, taken ninth by Carolina in 2012, seems sure to make it.
