Every morning, we'll round up local and national Seattle Seahawks-related links.

Richard Sherman, who was a fifth-round pick in 2011, is no fan of NFL draft analysts. Here's what he told GQ Magazine during a Q&A:

It's more funny than it is frustrating. I don't really care. I think of it as them talking to a bunch of sheep who will believe anything anyway. So I just laugh. Because they have no idea. Every year they sit here and make all these predictions about who's going to get drafted and where and how they have all this inside information, and then when the guys don't get drafted there and what they predicted doesn't happen, there's no ridicule. There's no criticism. It's just, "Oh, we got that one wrong... AGAIN. We'll get 'em next year." And people keep watching! It's the funniest thing in the world. In any other aspect of life, in any other walk of life, if somebody gets something wrong enough and they're called a professional... I'll put it like this, if a weatherman kept predicting the weather wrong, people would stop listening to him. But they keep listening to these guys!

Kam Chancellor helped his friend Giavanni Ruffin get a tryout with the Seahawks, although Ruffin has not been signed to a contract. From The Sporting News:

Ruffin and Chancellor are both from the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area and Ruffin said his "best friend" helped arrange a private workout with the Seahawks.

"We've been working fitness boot camps throughout Washington. Every day we train, and one day Kam was like, 'Man, you can still play,'" Ruffin told Omnisport Thursday night. "I never wanted to ask Kam to see if he could talk to anyone because he's doing his own thing. I never brought it up. But the next day he came to and said, 'Hey, I put my name on the line for you. You're finally going to get your opportunity.'"

Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times writes about the Seahawks' approach to building the offensive line:

All of which has most analysts predicting that the Seahawks are likely to load up on offensive linemen with some of the nine picks they have in the NFL draft, which is April 28-30 in Chicago.

“I think you will see them make an investment early in this draft to say, ‘Hey look, we have tried the other way,’" ESPN analyst Louis Riddick said. "‘We have tried value shopping and bargain shopping, and let’s go ahead and get ourselves a blue-chipper and really try to solidify this thing and build it back up and make sure we are taking care of Russell the way we need to.’"
