With the 62nd overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Seahawks select Texas A&M RB Christine Michael. As a junior in 2011 Christine Michael was having a productive season until he broke his right tibia in October and missed the remainder of season. Based on his senior film Michael may not be fully recovered from last year's injury, as he was a huge disappointment to evaluate. While he has the size and frame of an NFL RB he lacks the burst needed to consistently get through tight spaces before they close, and is not a threat running outside or in space. His ineffectiveness on 3rd down was even more disappointing, as he did not display the aggressiveness or technical skills needed to be effective in blitz pickup, and he tended to give up on plays before completing fakes and pass routes. How he performs in the spring will be critical to his draft status, as teams at this stage must be wondering if his lackluster 2012 was due to lingering effects from his injury last year or simply an accurate depiction of his limited skill set.
