With the 52nd overall pick in the first ever Seahawks All-Time Fantasy Draft, the Skid Row Sliders select... Deon Grant, Tennessee via Seahawks.com Deon Grant is not Pro Bowl bound. He doesn’t hurt guys like Roy Williams. He form tackles, and does so pretty well. Grant gets his picks, but has never run one back for a score. He’s not "dynamic" in the open field. But what Grant is is one of the...

With the 53rd overall pick in the first ever Seahawks All-Time Fantasy Draft, the Skid Row Sliders select... Kelly Jennings, Miami via Seattle PI I like cover corners. It’s a weakness of mine. Jennings is short, not a great tackler and hasn’t shown much in the way of ball skills, in college or in the pros, but as second year corners go, he’s a hell of a cover guy. Jennings was leapt over, blocked...

Chris Gray, Auburn via JAMD When an offensive linemen is said to be able to play multiple positions it is often code for this player cannot play any position well. Chris Gray can play any interior offensive line position well. When Hutch went down in 2002, he even played some left guard....

With the 44th overall pick in the first ever Seahawks All-Time Fantasy Draft, the Skid Row Sliders select... Sam McCullum, Montana State via Becky's Place Did you know that the man ranked after Sam McCullum, 8th on Seattle’s all-time receiving list by receptions, is Mack Strong? McCullum is the last really good receiver left and I’ll be damned if I fill out the split end role with Koren Robinson....

With the 37th overall pick in the first ever Seahawks All-Time Fantasy Draft, the Skid Row Sliders select... Michael McCrary, USC Should have been blue . via JAMD If people didn't like my last pick, they're going to hate this one, but I'm a man that likes to exploit angles and I think I've a pretty good one here. Seattle drafted defensive end Michael McCrary out of Wake Forest with the 170th...

With the 36th overall pick in the first ever Seahawks All-Time Fantasy Draft, the Skid Row Sliders select... Lawrence Jackson, USC via Seattle Times Of the remaining Seahawks defensive ends, only Philip Daniels and Michael McCrary reached or surpassed 20 sacks. Daniels was a steady player, never dominant. The type you might call "championship caliber"-as a compliment and a subtle derision....

With the 29th overall pick in the first ever Seahawks All-Time Fantasy Draft, the Skid Row Sliders select... Andy Heck, Notre Dame via Day Life Andy Heck was never a great left tackle, but he was solid and underrated in pass pro. Despite being an outsized for the time 6-6 298, Heck was never dominant, but it’s not hard to see he was good. Seattle drafted Heck in the first round of the 1989...

With the 28th overall pick in the first ever Seahawks All-Time Fantasy Draft, the Skid Row Sliders select... Brandon Mebane, California via Day Life In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we...

With the 21st overall pick in the first ever Seahawks All-Time Fantasy Draft, the Skid Row Sliders select... Joey Galloway, Ohio State via JAMD Few receivers as great as Joey Galloway have worked with a lowlier collection of quarterbacks: Scattershot Rick Mirer, Decrepit Warren Moon, Gino-Torretta Gino Torretta…the Dallas years: Frosty Quincy Carter, Ryan Leaf, Sucktastic Chad Hutchinson…the...

With the 20th overall pick in the first ever Seahawks All-Time Fantasy Draft, the Skid Row Sliders select... Shawn Springs, Ohio State via JAMD Springs was ever that most underappreciated player, the true cover corner. People: fans, coaches and commentators love the pick, but though Springs tallied a glossy 12 over his 2nd and 3rd seasons, ball-hawking was never Springs game. No, Springs dominated...

With the 13th overall pick in the first ever Seahawks All-Time Fantasy Draft, the Skid Row Sliders select... Dave Krieg, Milton via Becky's Place I feel a little guilty about taking Krieg here, because I don’t really like Krieg. That is, I never thought he was a great quarterback. Of course, that’s my single digit self talking and what does he know, snot nosed brat. Nevertheless, the drop-off...

With the 12th overall pick in the first ever Seahawks All-Time Fantasy Draft, the Skid Row Sliders select... Lofa Tatupu, USC via NFL I didn’t want to do it. As a "young" Seahawks fan, one who watched with interest and some frustration the "old" Seahawks, but one who has redoubled(tripled') his fandom in recent seasons, I wanted to pick someone old school, someone that proved I was there, I...

With the 5th overall pick in the first ever Seahawks All-Time Fantasy Draft, the Skid Row Sliders select... Steve Hutchinson, Michigan via USA Today If you're going to take a guard this early, he better be good. Good thing Hutch is the greatest guard of his generation. After playing only 4 games in 2002, Hutchinson started his incredible streak of 5 seasons, 5 Pro Bowls, 5 All-Pro nods. His...

With the 4th overall pick in the first ever Seahawks All-Time Fantasy Draft, the Skid Row Sliders take... Cortez Kennedy, Miami via View Images To truly appreciate Tez's 1992, one must first understand that Kennedy played the run stuffing right tackle compliment to 32 year old, 280 pound left tackle Joe Nash. Playing the one-tech on a craggy and talent poor defensive line, Kennedy exploded...
