Who they took would depend a lot on who is available at that point in the draft. Seattle’s roster is pretty solid so they had the luxury of taking the best player available while not having to reach to fill a need; something the Seahawks should take note of on April 25th for their draft.
When the 12 pick rolled around, the Seattle Storm selected University of California forward Ashley Walker.
