Seattle's hit rate when they have multiple first round picks in a season is amazing.
In 1997, they got Shawn Springs (played 7 seasons and made the Pro Bowl in 1998) and Walter Jones (Hall of Fame tackle who made it to 9 Pro Bowls).
In 2000, they got Shaun Alexander (all-time leading rusher in franchise history and a 3-time Pro Bowler) and Chris McIntosh (bust- only played 2 seasons).
In 2001, they got Koren Robinson (3,567 receiving yards in 4 seasons, including a 2002 campaign with 1,240 yards) and Steve Hutchinson (3-time Pro Bowler with the Seahawks and a finalist for the Hall of Fame this year).
And, in 2010, they got Russell Okung (made the Pro Bowl with the Seahawks in 2012) and Earl Thomas (possible Hall of Fame safety who made 6 Pro Bowls with the Seahawks).
In these drafts, the Seahawks have picked 8 guys in the first round. Seven of them were positive players, and these players combined for 23 Pro Bowls just in their time with Seattle.
He said the right things for the good of the T-Wolves, but I’m not sure how I feel about this as an Edwards owner when I actually want him to pass the ball LESS. :( :) Plus I can’t see KAT & D-Lo reacting positively to this. Thoughts???

Anthony Edwards was critical of himself as well as teammates Karl Anthony-Towns and D'Angelo Russell, and said that all three need to do a better job of trusting their teammates and passing the ball.
"We think we the only ones on the team," Edwards said. "We got to be willing to pass the ball. There's no 'I' in team. We can't beat five people with three people. We beat five people with five people. We got to be willing to play with our teammates. Trust our teammates and ... share the ball." In Monday's loss to New Orleans, Edwards, Russell, and Towns shot 61 of the team's 90 total field goals. "Preseason everybody is sharing the ball. Everybody happy," Edwards said as he doubled down. "So when the season starts everything changed. I. I. I. I want to shoot this. I want to shoot that. … Me, KAT and D-Lo got to do a better job of getting them the ball, because Coach draws everything up for us. We've got to do a better job of getting them involved, making them feel wanted in the offense, not just on defense."
