C - Max Unger, Robbie Tobeck

RG - Chris Gray, Brian Millard

RT - Howard Ballard, Steve August

FB may have been the hardest position to do - since there was only 1. John L Williams was tough to leave off the list.

RB also had Ricky Watters that was difficult to leave off the list (I had to drop to 2 QBs to add the 4th RB).

Not sure how popular my picks for K and P will be, but they're worthy of the conversation.

Good list. I can only think of a couple of player that maybe I would put up.

Joey Galloway over Darrell Jackson. Galloway was an elite receiver which is why we got 2 1st round picks for him from Dallas.

Kevin Mawae was probably the 2nd best offensive lineman to ever play for Seattle. That we let him go was one of the biggest failures of the Ken Behring era, which had a lot of failures. It is simply remarkable that we've never had a truly elite TE. In 46 years the closest we came was a washed Jimmy Graham.

I thought of Galloway, and overall he and DJack have similar numbers while here (when adjusted per game). I leaned DJack over Galloway partly because the holdout, but Galloway is definitely deserving. Also thought of Bobby Engram as the #6 WR. Even flirted with Sam McCullum or Darryl Turner as outside contenders.

I love Mawae, but almost all of his success happened after he left Seattle, which isn't hard since only 4 of 16 years were in Seattle. All his pro bowls and all pros happened after he left. Unger and Tobeck both were at their best for Seattle. Honestly, Seattle's been fairly good at center over the years.

Agree with you about Galloway over Jackson. Wasn't Jackson's nickname for a while "D-drop"? Seems to me like he had a bad habit of dropping perfect passes quite often if I'm remembering correctly.

Also the most infamous offensive pass interference in NFL history.

Great list. I'm trying my best to find something I disagree with and I really don't.

The only guys that jump out that could merit consideration from me are Julian Peterson and Patrick Kerney. Both were only on the team for 3 years, but Peterson was a force his first two years and Patrick Kerney's 2007 season was remarkable.

I would suppose those two along with Cliff Avril could've been honorable mentions so to speak.

One thing i would change, just one. Drop Warren, i know he was a good RB but i am replacing him with Bobby Engram. man you can not leave bobby out of the WR list.

Yeah i just couldn't leave Bobby Engram off this list. He gave his all for the Hawks.
