Seattle takes North Carolina State wide receiver Koren Robinson with its first overall selection (No. 9) and Steve Hutchinson (No. 17). Selects 12 college players, the most since drafting 11 in 1992, during the two-day draft.

Walter Jones became the third original Seahawks member to be voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame joining Steve Largent and Cortez Kennedy.

Seahawks use their second-round choice in the draft to select University of Miami wide receiver Brian Blades. The Seahawks first-round pick had been exercised in the June 1987 supplemental draft.

Seattle’s hopes of returning to NFC Championship Game were dashed in an overtime loss at Chicago. Seattle battled into overtime, but a Robbie Gould 49-yard field goal allowed the Bears to prevail.
