Every 19th overall selection in the NFL draft since the year 2000.

2017 – O.J. Howard, TE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2016 – Shaq Lawson, DE, Buffalo Bills
2015 – Cameron Erving, C, Cleveland Browns
2014 – Ja’Wuan James, OT, Miami Dolphins
2013 – Justin Pugh, OT, New York Giants
2012 – Shea McClellin, DE, Chicago Bears
2011 – Prince Amukamara, CB, New York Giants
2010 – Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Atlanta Falcons
2009 – Jeremy Maclin*, WR, Philadelphia Eagles
2008 – Jeff Otah, OT, Carolina Panthers
2007 – Michael Griffin*, S, Tennessee Titans
2006 – Antonio Cromartie*, CB, San Diego Chargers
2005 – Alex Barron, OT, St. Louis Rams
2004 – Vernon Carey, OT, Miami Dolphins
2003 – Kyle Boller, QB, Baltimore Ravens
2002 – Ashley Lelie, WR, Denver Broncos
2001 – Casey Hampton*, DT, Pittsburgh Steelers
2000 – Shaun Alexander*, RB, Seattle Seahawks

Out of the 18 players, only five of them have ever been to the Pro Bowl. I'll take a proven NFL Superstar over an unproven draft pick any day.

The only problem is, can we fit him under the cap? Not sure.

How about look at the players picked around that pick ie 18-20 or 17 -21 to get an actual feel for the type of talent that is around the pick?

Seattle has reason to not admit to shopping him. It reduces their leverage and alienates ET to admit so.

I would tell them they can have a 4th or we will just sign him next year when he is a FA.

I'd go as high as a third rounder. I think they'd get at least a fourth round comp pick down the road when he signed elsewhere.

But on the matter of his contract, I'm not busting the budget. If his angle is just to get "Eric Berry money" now, he can go do that in Cleveland. I'm not paying him more than the $10 million a year he's making now. That's plenty already.

It’s clear Seattle doesn’t want to extend earl that they’ve been talking with the cowboys for a trade. Which supposedly started at the combine. Just can not let them fleece us. Send a conditional 3rd and give him a contract. He can change the defensive culture quickly.
