With the 6th pick in the NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks select....

I wanted to get this out for Seahawks fans before the NFL world descends on the combine in Indianapolis. While I do enjoy the combine and believe it does have importance in the draft process, the testing results are intensely overblown. The most important part of the combine these days are the face to face interviews. Gathering the top prospects in the country, having them parade around in their underwear, and then running them through a series of physical tests is outdated. With the athletic performance clinics most of today's top players attend, prospects are excelling at the 40-yard dash, broad jump, and three cone drill like never before.

Here are the important parts of the combine, in order of relevance:
1. The chance for your team Doctor to exam a players past injuries
2. The chance to sit across the table from a prospect and gauge whether they truly love football or not (Ask the Raiders and Jamarcus Russell if this is important)
3. The chance to go Indy's best steakhouses

As you can see, that is not a very big list. If you want to find out if a player has got the game to play on Sunday's, I have a novel idea. WATCH HIS COLLEGE GAME TAP. If Derious Heyward-Bey ran a 4.5 instead of a 4.3, he would have been a 3rd rounder.

With that said, I have made up my mind on who I would like the Seattle Seahawks to select with the #6 pick (granted this player is available). Two Words: Boomer Sooner

While the Offensive Line is the Hawks most pressing need for next year, the upgrading of the quarterback position is the most pressing need for the franchise. Matt Hasselback is certainly not getting any younger, and where are the Hawks going to get their next franchise signal caller. Free agency, trade, or a late round pick? Look at the Super Bowl, you are not winning big in the current NFL unless you have a big time quarterback.

What makes me like Sam Bradford? Its not his physical ability or 40 time, or wonderlic score. Sam Bradford has the completely unmeasurable "IT" factor. I have heard him in interviews on the radio 3 times in the last couple of weeks, and he just has it. The same way, Matt Ryan did two years ago and Mark Sanchez last year. Heck, Bradford is a scratch golfer and averaged 20 points a game in high school basketball. He has got the physical tools, the accuracy and the poise, but it wasn't until I heard him speak that I wanted him to be a Seahawk. What is "it?"

You can't describe it, you either have it or you don't.
