2008 NFL Draft: 1.28 Lawrence Jackson, DE, Seattle Seahawks (via Dallas)
The Seahawks struck gold a few years ago when they drafted an underappreciated USC defender (Lofa Tatupu). Today, they hope to have done the same, drafting DE Lawrence Jackson at the end of the 1st round; about a round earlier than most expected. Jackson has good size and credentials, but really struggled against double teams and lacks top end speed; which may make it difficult for him to generate a pass rush at the NFL level.
Fantasy Impact: The Seahawks already have a studly fantasy defense; Jackson is more about maintaining the existing level of performance than increasing the ‘hawks pass rush.
