Seahawks Drafts from the Past: 1993 Seattle’s best pick ended up starring for the Baltimore Ravens, while the Seahawks’ top pick was... Rick Mirer.
. Seattle turned to another quarterback, Rick Mirer, from Notre Dame who had compiled a 29-7-1 record as a starter in South Bend and was drawing comparisons to former Golden Domer Joe Montana. Sounds like a slam dunk pick!
To be fair, Mirer’s rookie season wasn’t a complete disaster. He was put to the test early, becoming only the third rookie quarterback since 1970 to start all of his team’s games. Mirer also set NFL rookie records for attempts, completions, and yards on his way to sharing the Offensive Rookie of the Year honors with Jerome Bettis.
Unfortunately, that was arguably the highlight of Mirer’s Seahawks career as he would post a 20-31 record over his four years in Seattle with a 50/76 TD/INT ratio. There is a silver lining as Mirer was traded to the along with a fourth-round pick for Chicago’s first-rounder in 1997…that was eventually packaged to move up to select cornerback Shawn Springs.Carlton Gray, a First-Team All-American senior cornerback from UCLA, was selected with Seattle’s following pick. Gray battled injuries his first two years with the Seahawks, missing 11 games. His best year was 1995 when he played in all 16 games and recorded 4 INTs.
