Whitehurst to Seahawks; Chargers get great deal!

Seahawks acquired QB Charlie Whitehurst from the Chargers in exchange for a 2010 swap of second-round picks and a third-round pick in 2011.

The move will pay off for Seattle if Whitehurst becomes Matt Hasselbeck's eventual successor, but the Bolts got quite an awesome deal! They move up 20 spots in round two and get a premium 2011 pick for a player with two pass attempts in four seasons, who couldn't beat out Billy Volek. Whitehurst, 27, posted an underwhelming 49:46 TD-to-INT ratio and 59.7 completion rate as a four-year starter at Clemson in the early- to mid-2000s. He has ideal size (6'4/227), good tools and athleticism, and outplayed Jay Cutler at the 2006 Senior Bowl. Pete Carroll and GM John Schneider have been watching a lot of old tape.
