And With the 25th Overall Pick, the Seahawks Select . . .

. . . Offensive Lineman James Carpenter?  He isn't a name that was on any of our radars, but at 6'4", 321 lbs he has the bulk to move inside and be a force at guard.  Carpenter also comes from a great football program at Alabama.  I'd love to see the tape John Schneider and Pete Carroll saw on him that made them choose him over Jimmy Smith and Muhammad Wilkerson.  I'm not finding much information on Carpenter, which means he might have fallen below a lot of people's radars, but as Mike Parker just pointed out to me, it may not be a bad thing for an offensive lineman to not have garnered a lot of media attention.

If any of you have some light to shed on Carpenter, please do so in the comments below.

[UPDATE: You can read Pete Carroll and John Schneider's explanation of Carpenter's selection here.  According to them, he was the highest rated player on their board, so now I'm really dying to see what this guy looks like when the pads go on this summer. -Ed.]
