Three Legion of Boom members were taken in the fourth, fifth, fifth, and sixth rounds, while Seattle\u2019s first Super Bowl MVP was seventh-round linebacker Malcolm Smith. The only offensive touchdown scored in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fieldgulls.com\/seattle-seahawks-super-bowl\/162494\/super-bowl-2026-score-seahawks-defense-dominates-lombardi-trophy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Seattle\u2019s second Super Bowl win<\/a> was by fourth-round tight end A.J. Barner, who might be on the cusp of stardom beyond the Seattle sports bubble.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We want to know your favorite Seahawks late-round draft picks of all time, but there is a clear restriction to eliminate some obvious candidates. A \u201clate-round draft pick\u201d is defined as no earlier than Round 4, which means Russell Wilson and Tyler Lockett are ineligible as third-rounders. Once upon a time, the NFL Draft was longer than seven rounds\u2014the Seahawks\u2019 inaugural season had a 17-round draft\u2014so if you want to really choose players from before the change-over in 1994 then go right ahead! Undrafted players like Doug Baldwin do not count because, well, they were literally not drafted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">You don\u2019t have to reason that they were legendary, all-time great Seahawks. Chris Carson is not one of the top three running backs in Seahawks history but I\u2019ll be damned if it wasn\u2019t a joy to watch a seventh-round pick become a quality starter whose career was cruelly cut short due to injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">And yes, Michael Dickson (fifth-round pick) counts because punters are indeed people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Chat away in the comments below!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We\u2019re continuing our theme of Seattle Seahawks NFL Draft discussion today with a trip down memory lane.
