SEATTLE — The Seahawks' presence at No. 5 in the NFL draft can be viewed as a divine gift. They're reaping the compensatory benefits of a bottom-feeding team without having to go through the actual suffering of constant losing to land it.
But in addition to offering another reason for them to salute the Denver Broncos, who served as surrogate losers last season on the Seahawks' behalf, the high pick also comes with extra pressure to get it right — and a philosophical dilemma that's likely to be staring them in the face.
If the draft goes as many have projected, the first two teams, the Panthers and Texans, will take quarterbacks. The No. 3 team, the Arizona Cardinals, could very well select Will Anderson, the edge rusher from Alabama. And no one would be surprised if the Colts at No. 4 take a quarterback as well.
