Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor were both fifth-round picks. Russell Wilson was a third-round pick. And even as a second-round pick, Bobby Wagner was a major bargain.<\/p>\n
Those four players combined for 26 Pro Bowl selections with the Seahawks and served as cornerstones for the greatest run of success in franchise history.<\/p>\n
So it was no surprise that they were featured in NFL.com reporter Eric Edholm\u2019s recent ranking of the league\u2019s top five draft values at each position since 2000<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sherman was ranked as the No. 1 draft value among cornerbacks, Wagner was No. 1 among linebackers, Wilson was No. 4 among quarterbacks and Chancellor was No. 5 among safeties.<\/p>\n The Seahawks were one of five teams to finish with at least four players in Edholm\u2019s rankings. The Kansas City Chiefs led the way with five players, while the Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears had four apiece.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a closer look at the four Seahawks who made the cut.<\/p>\n Richard Sherman<\/p>\n \u2022 Fifth round, No. 154 overall (2011) Sherman, the most recognizable figure in the Seahawks\u2019 famed Legion of Boom secondary, was a four-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro over his seven seasons in Seattle. He totaled 32 interceptions and 99 pass breakups over that span, both of which were the most in the league. And of course, he delivered perhaps the most iconic play in franchise history.<\/p>\n Richard Sherman was FIRED UP after sealing an NFC Championship victory for the @Seahawks<\/a> five years ago.<\/p>\n (Jan. 19, 2014) @RSherman_25<\/a> #NFLPlayoffs<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/NSNRSbXP7q<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 NFL Legacy (@NFLLegacy) January 17, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n Bobby Wagner<\/p>\n \u2022 Second round, No. 47 overall (2012) Wagner was another centerpiece of the Seahawks\u2019 legendary Legion of Boom-era defense, which was the league\u2019s top-ranked scoring defense for four straight seasons from 2012 to 2015. He racked up nine Pro Bowl selections and six first-team All-Pro nods over his 11 years in Seattle.<\/p>\n Bobby Wagner LEVELED two blockers and got the sack \ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n (via @thecheckdown<\/a>)pic.twitter.com\/CYEMFOuyc1<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 ESPN (@espn) November 2, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n Russell Wilson<\/p>\n \u2022 Third round, No. 75 overall (2012) The 5-foot-11 Wilson quickly went from a third-round afterthought to one of the league\u2019s top quarterbacks, earning nine Pro Bowl selections over his decorated 10-year run with the Seahawks. He received three top-four finishes in Offensive Player of the Year voting and piled up more than 37,000 passing yards, upward of 4,600 rushing yards and 316 total touchdowns during his decade in Seattle \u2013 while delivering countless Houdini-like plays and changing perceptions on what shorter QBs could accomplish in the NFL.<\/p>\n Russell Wilson has five passing touchdowns to five different receivers! #Seahawks<\/a> @DangeRussWilson<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udcfa: #NEvsSEA<\/a> on NBC \u2014 NFL (@NFL) September 21, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n Kam Chancellor<\/p>\n \u2022 Fifth round, No. 133 overall (2010) Chancellor was another late-round gem and integral piece of the Legion of Boom secondary. A 6-foot-3, 225-pound wrecking ball, Chancellor earned four Pro Bowl selections over his eight-year career and served as a punishing enforcer over the middle of the field.<\/p>\n Kam Chancellor: The man who put the boom in the Legion of Boom \ud83d\udca5@Seahawks<\/a> | @KamChancellor<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/GRMZnapGfq<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 NFL (@NFL) June 17, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Seattle Seahawks news and analysis<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0Insider: The Seahawks\u2019 blueprint for success in 2025<\/a>
