Seahawks No. 1 in Post Draft Power Rankings
In a Post-Draft Power Rankings done by analysts at espn.com, the Seattle Seahawks have been crowned the No. 1 team in the NFL. The second and third place teams are, division rival and Super Bowl runner-up, San Francisco 49ers and the Denver Broncos respectively. They are going into their second season with quarterback Russell Wilson at the helm and they also drafted former Texas A&M running back Christine Michael to help share the load with Marshawn Lynch. The team also acquired wide receiver Percy Harvin from Minnesota to give Wilson another target. I tend to agree with the Seahawks being one of the best teams, I just don't think they are no. 1, especially considering how the San Francisco 49ers finished. But this is definitely a team that has improved, benefiting from excellent drafting and a strong defense. Look for the Rams to also be better in that division as well. The Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens were placed eighth on the list, likely because of all the departing players.
Justin Blackmon Suspended
Jacksonville Jaguars Justin Blackmon has been suspended for the first four games of the 2013 NFL Regular Season for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse. It has not been revealed what the substance or occurence was but this is a blow to the Jaguars and Blackmon, who had a strong finish last season, including a Week 11 outing visiting the Houston Texans in which he had seven catches for 236 yards. Through his last four games he had 25 catches for 308 yards and two touchdowns. Besides Blackmon the Jaguar receiving corp. has Cecil Shorts and Jordan Shipley.
Here is the game at Houston for Blackmon:
