Moving back logical for Seahawks, but it's not a certainty

The Seattle Seahawks once used their top draft pick on a running back -- Christine Michael in the second round in 2013 -- even though they had Marshawn Lynch coming off his best season and a capable backup in Robert Turbin.

In 2011, they sent reporters inside the media workroom at team headquarters scrambling to Google when they surprisingly used the 25th pick on James Carpenter. His wasn't a well-known name nor one that had appeared in many first-round mock drafts that year.

They did the same thing in 2012 when they took Bruce Irvin 15th overall.
