It wasn't just their early picks that earned praise either. The Seahawks did good work on Day 3 as well, with one player being named a potential "impact rookie" by SI.com's Daniel Flick. Flick identified players in Rounds 4-7 who could wind up being contributors from the start.

Expectations are high for first-round pick Grey Zabel, who is going to be wearing Steve Hutchinson's legendary No. 76 jersey. The Seahawks identified Zabel as an ideal fit for Klint Kubiak's zone-based offense. He'll be the starter at left guard, and it's worth monitoring his start at rookie minicamp.

The latest Seattle Seahawks news reveals the team made several roster moves, including releasing a former touted quarterback.
