The Seahawks go out and solve a riddle by selecting Safety Earl Thomas of Texas. At 5’ 10” 208 pounds this guy is a legit speedster, cover man, equipped with a ton of pro style technique that should add value around the middle of the year. His only knock is his undersize at the position, but his speed more than makes up for it.
