KIRKLAND, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks selected defensive end Lawrence Jackson of Southern California with the 28th overall choice in the NFL draft.

The Seahawks traded their 25th pick to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for that No. 28 selection, plus Dallas' fifth-round pick (163rd overall) and a seventh-round selection (No. 235 overall).
Seattle president and general manager Tim Ruskell had lamented not having a fifth-round choice in this draft, so the trade fills that void. And the selection fills the Seahawks' need to bolster a defensive line that lost free agents Chuck Darby and Ellis Wyms.
