<p>Seattle traded their first-round pick for Percy Harvin. Here's one projection for how they'll use their second round selection.</p> <p>Wide receiver <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/10146/percy-harvin" class="sbn-auto-link">Percy Harvin</a> <a href="http://www.fieldgulls.com/2013/3/11/4090622/percy-harvin-to-seahawks-this-makes-me-happy-in-pants" target="_blank">is now a member</a> of the <a href="https://www.fieldgulls.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Seattle Seahawks</a> thanks to an offseason trade that sent the team's first-round pick to the <a href="https://www.dailynorseman.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Minnesota Vikings</a>. Any excitement lost during next Thursday night's first round of the NFL Draft is probably acceptable for Seattle fans.</p>
<p>The team, as of now, will first make a selection at No. 56 in the second round. Not many mock drafts go that far into the murky depths of the selection process, but <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl-mock-draft/2013/4/8/4192860/2013-nfl-mock-draft-three-rounds-geno-smith-tavon-austin?utm_source=sbnation&utm_medium=nextclicks&utm_campaign=articlebottom">SB Nation's Matthew Fairburn did last week</a> (actually, he took it as far as three full rounds), and he projects the Seahawks to select <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/purdue-boilermakers" class="sbn-auto-link">Purdue Boilermakers</a> defensive tackle <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/37542/kawann-short" class="sbn-auto-link">Kawann Short</a>.</p>

<p>Fairburn writes of Short, <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl-mock-draft/2013/4/11/4212502/2013-nfl-draft-defensive-tackle-rankings" target="_blank">the eighth-rated defensive tackle</a> in his prospect rankings, that Seattle would get "a solid three-technique prospect provided they can keep him motivated."</p>
<p>Last season with the Boilermakers, Short posted 43 total tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, 7.0 sacks, four passes broken up, a forced fumble and four blocked kicks.</p>

<p>The Seahawks may not have a first-round pick, but they still find some value in the second round of SB Nation's mock draft.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fieldgulls.com/">Seattle Seahawks</a> enter the 2013 NFL Draft with most of their needs already addressed in free agency. They traded their first round pick for <span>Percy Harvin</span>, then signed <span>Cliff Avril</span> and Michael Bennett to shore up the pass rush. With few glaring needs left on the roster, the team can focus on finding value in the later rounds in the draft.</p>
<p>SB Nation's Matthew Fairburn released a three-round mock draft on Monday. There are no trades in this mock, so that leaves the Seahawks waiting until the 56th pick, where they select Purdue DT Kawann Short. Short is projected to go as high as the late first round, making this a valuable steal:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The Seahawks get a solid three-technique prospect provided they can keep him motivated.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In the third round, Seattle makes another interesting selection, as Fairburn projects them to pick LSU CB/S Tyrann Mathieu. Mathieu's character concerns and lack of a natural position are well documented, but if Pete Carroll and company can keep him in line, he could be a quality addition to the secondary.</p>
<p>Check out the complete mock draft at the link below.</p>

<p>The Seahawks traded their first-rounder for a receiver and do not appear to have any significant needs. What will they do when they finally get to pick?</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.fieldgulls.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Seattle Seahawks</a> have quickly ascended in three years under Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider. After taking over for Jim Mora and Tim Ruskell in 2010, coming off of a 5-11 season with an aging and past-their-prime roster, the new duo started overhauling the roster and doing whatever they could to find a youth infusion that would be successful in a five-year plan.</p>
<p>It appears to be working.</p>
<p></p>
<div class="read-more">
<strong>More</strong>: <a target="new" href="http://www.fieldgulls.com">Field Gulls</a>
</div>
<p>The Seahawks finished 7-9 in both of Carroll's first two years as head coach, but through the draft were able to find talents such as <span>Richard Sherman</span>, <span>Kam Chancellor</span>, <span>Russell Okung</span>, and <span>Earl Thomas</span>. The pinnacle of their draft success came last year with the selection of quarterback <span>Russell Wilson</span> in the third round. Now, after an 11-5 2012 season that ended just short of the NFC championship game, the Seahawks seem to be soaring again. Seattle's biggest needs were finding a touchdown-scoring playmaker on offense at receiver and a pass-rushing specialist at defensive end. Check and check.</p>
<p>The Seahawks traded their first-round pick to Minnesota for <span>Percy Harvin</span> and signed free agents <span>Cliff Avril</span> and Michael Bennett to rush the quarterback. At this point, it does not appear any starting positions are available, but that goes against the very principle of "Always Compete" stressed by Carroll, and certainly rookies will be given the opportunity to play next season. One possibility to find a new starter could come at right tackle, where <span>Breno Giacomini</span> had some inconsistencies and boneheaded penalties last season. Seattle might select a tackle, or a versatile lineman that could play both tackle and guard, in the second round of the draft and give him the chance to vie for a starting position, or at least be next on the depth chart.</p>
<p><a href="http://walterfootball.com/draft2013_2.php">In Walter Football's latest mock draft,</a> that's exactly why they project Seattle to select offensive tackle Terron Armstead out of Arkansas-Pine Bluff. The 306-pound tackle stunned everyone with a 4.71 40-yard dash at the combine, the fastest ever for an offensive lineman. Despite coming from a small school, Armstead has moved up draft boards and could be considered a high-ceiling prospect that could fill a need for a team like Seattle, and be an upgrade over Giacomini.</p>
<p>We already know that the Seahawks have most of their roster set, but we have yet to find out who is going to come in after the draft and begin to compete.</p>

<p>The top seed in the Spokane region, Stanford, looks to keep its title hopes alive against Georgia while LSU faces the Cal Bears.</p> <p>As one of the legitimate threats to defending champion Baylor, the Stanford Lady Cardinal must first get past a tough Georgia team. The Lady Bulldogs won 27 games and finished third in the SEC behind Tennessee and Kentucky. But the Stanford women were nearly flawless through Pac-12 play, finishing 17-1 and tying with Cal for the regular season title.</p>
<p>Speaking of the Lady Bears, they take on LSU in another Pac-12/SEC matchup. The Lady Tigers upset Penn State in the Round of 32 to advance, while Cal took care of Fresno State and South Florida. LSU is certainly an underdog, having finished sixth in its own conference and only winning two-thirds of its regular-season games.</p>
<p>Here's the schedule for Spokane:</p>
<p>No. 1 Stanford vs. No. 4 Georgia, 9 p.m ET, ESPN/Watch ESPN</p>
<p>No. 2 Cal vs. No. 6 LSU, 11:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2/Watch ESPN</p>

<p>Now without a first-round pick, Seattle will have to focus their attention on the next tier of prospects. Could a corner fill a big need for them on draft weekend?</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.fieldgulls.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Seattle Seahawks</a> have found the offensive weapon they desired in the form of <span>Percy Harvin</span>, but it did cost them their first-round pick in the 2013 NFL draft and then some. However, it would be hard to say if they could have done any better with the 25th overall pick than Harvin, even though it does mean they won't be picking until toward the end of the second round barring more moves. How will they fill their other needs, even if they don't appear to have many pressing ones at the moment?</p>
<p><b>For more on the Seahawks, <a href="http://www.fieldgulls.com" target="_blank">check out Field Gulls</a></b></p>
<p>The biggest apparent needs for the Seahawks right now are depth on the offensive line, outside linebacker, depth at tight end, depth at safety, and nickel corner. Though Seattle might have the best secondary in the league, there's always the matter of making sure they keep it that way, as evidenced by <span>Brandon Browner's</span> four-game suspension at the end of last season and knowing that they could have trouble giving long-term deals to all of their players. For those reasons, Draftsite.com has projected cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson out of Connecticut to Seattle with the 56th overall pick.</p>
<p>Wreh-Wilson, 6'2, 195, could fit the bill as a big and physical corner that the team has had success with under Pete Carroll and company. There's a decent chance that the Seahawks do go in this direction, especially now that they've filled their need at wide receiver.</p>

<p>The Ducks face the No. 1 Louisville Cardinals in the Sweet 16, and the experts aren't giving them much of a chance to advance. </p> <p>The No. 12 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/oregon-ducks">Oregon Ducks</a> have already easily dealt with being under-seeded after winning the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas. The Ducks have practically marched to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2007, when they advanced to the Elite Eight and then lost to Florida.</p>

<p>The Ducks moved through the first two rounds of the tournament, beating the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/oklahoma-st-cowboys">Oklahoma St. Cowboys</a> by a baker's dozen and the St. Louis Billikens by a solid 17 points. But on Friday, they'll face an opponent unlike one they've seen so far this season.</p>
<p>The top-seeded team in the tournament, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/louisville-cardinals">Louisville Cardinals</a>, haven't lost a game since Feb. 9, when it took five overtimes for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/notre-dame-fighting-irish">Notre Dame Fighting Irish</a> to get past them. And the CBS Sports experts believe it'll be all Louisville, with all of them <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/ncaa-tournament/expert-picks/straight-up/regional-semifinals" target="_blank">picking the Cardinals to advance past the Ducks. </a></p>
