Seahawks get defensive-back help in 3rd round: UCF CB Shaquill Griffin, Michigan S Delano Hill

RENTON It took 90 picks, three trades and two previous picks, but the Seahawks finally got help at cornerback.

Twice the help.

Seattle used its third pick Friday, this one in the third round with the 90th overall selection, to draft Central Florida cornerback Shaquill Griffin.

“My family is going crazy,” Griffin said, laughing giddily Friday night from a roaring family home in Daytona Beach, Florida. “I had to lock myself in my room just to hear my calls.

He said he didn’t do a ton of press coverage, Seattle’s speciality, while at Central Florida.
