[QUOTE="longtimefan, post: 67492, member: 145"] Why do we have to argue again over if it was Mike or TT?? This is just my opinion, and how I feel but it looks pretty much black and white to me... Mike had FINAL say, but if you research it, you will see Mike would go on TT's recommendation. From [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Thompson"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Thompson[/url] Thomspon worked in Seattle along with former Packers and current Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren. During Thompsons time in Seattle, The Seahawks advanced to the playoffs in two of the five seasons there with several players Thompson helped acquired through the draft. Some of the notable players Thompson selected in his tenure with the Seahawks were running back Shaun Alexander, kicker Josh Brown, guard Steve Hutchinson, and wide receiver Darrell Jackson, cornerbacks Marcus Trufant and Ken Lucas, safeties Ken Hamlin and Michael Boulware People might hate the article from jsonline and claim it is "fluff", but IMO it is an unbiased opinion from a Seattle front office guy...He mentions how TT and OTHERS worked out trades with teams, but the DRAFt was all on TT's shoulders... If he is lying in the article people would have heard about it.. During Thompson's watch, the Seahawks also traded Ahman Green to the Packers, acquired Matt Hasselbeck from the Packers and conducted free agency. It's more difficult to judge Thompson in those areas because Holmgren and others were so much more involved. The drafts, however, basically were all Thompson's. Here's a closer look at how he fared: On the day before the draft, Thompson informed Reinfeldt that he was targeting Alexander at 19 and McIntosh at 22. The Seahawks got whom they wanted. ( just to clarify he was in charge of the draft here is another part) In the second round, [b]Thompson gave in to the defensive coaching staff and selected defensive back Ike Charlton. He was a bust. Thompson learned a lesson.[/b] [/QUOTE]
