Seattle cracks the list at No. 27, topping the Rams, Raiders, Bills, Browns and Buccaneers.
Writer Andy Behrens starts the analysis off with the sobering fact that the Yahoo! analysts don’t think a single Seattle skill player should be starting in a 10-team league. Of course, with a new offense, things can change quickly.

The Seahawks’ Blue Thunder drumline is featured on the song, and it was recorded at the famous London Bridge Studio in Seattle.
