Who will make the 2012 Sea Gals squad?

The remaining hopefuls will find out Sunday, starting at 5 p.m., when the finals for the Seahawks’ dance team will be held at the CenturyLink Field West Club Lounge. You can follow every twist and turn, every step of the way, as the 28-32 member squad is determined in a live webcast hosted by Tony Ventrella and Sheila Stampatacos here at Seahawks.com.

The finalists already have completed several stages of the gauntlet that leads to a spot on the squad, and you can read more about the process here.

“You have to be serious about it and do all the necessary things to prepare,” said Sea Gal Laura, who has made the squad the past two years. “It’s so much more than just dancing on Sundays. Obviously, that’s my favorite part. But I feel I’ve really grown as a person being on the squad.”

As for who makes the 2012 squad, the last step in the process will be completed Sunday.

The Seahawks have claimed wide receiver Raymond Webber off waivers from the Buccaneers, and they also waived three players today – linebacker Tressor Baptiste, defensive end John Graves and defensive back Jesse Hoffman.

Webber played at Arkansas-Pine Bluff and signed with the Bucs as a rookie free agent last year. But he was sidelined with a hamstring injury in training camp and placed on injured reserve in mid-August.

Hoffman, who played at Eastern Washington University and Shorecrest High School, was with the Seahawks in training camp last summer.

A look at some memorable moments in Seahawks history that occurred on May 4:

A closer look at seventh-round draft choice Greg Scruggs:

Pick: No. 25 in the round, No. 232 overall. The pick was acquired Friday in a trade with the Jets.

Pertinent information: 6 feet 3, 284 pounds. … Missed three games because of a toe injury that bothered him all of last season and finished with 19 tackles. … Started 12 games in 2009 and had 24 tackles, and six games in 2010 with 14 tackles. … Played on the nation’s top-ranked team at Xavier High School in Cincinnati. … Born Aug. 17, 1990.

What he brings: Another big body and some versatility to the mix on the defensive line.

Where he fits: He will play the five-technique end spot initially for the Seahawks, but he also played nose tackle in a 3-4 for Louisville, three-technique tackle in the 4-3 and also some standup end.

What he’s saying: “Obviously it was disappointing (to miss the final two games last season). Being as going into the season I had high expectations for myself, the coaches had high expectations for me and the team did as well. But you can’t look back on it. It’s disappointing. It’s water under the bridge. You look back and learn, think about things you could have done differently. … Now, it’s just time to move forward.”

The Seahawks just completed their 2012 NFL Draft by selecting Louisville Greg Scruggs with their second picks in the seventh round.

The 6-foot-3, 284-pound Scruggs was selected with the 25^th pick in the round, and 232^nd overall. The Seahawks acquired the pick on Friday in the trade with the Jets.

A closer look at seventh-round draft choice J.R. Sweezy:

Pick: No. 18 in the round, No. 225 overall. The pick was acquired last year from the Raiders in the trade for linebacker Aaron Curry.

Pertinent information: 6 feet 4, 298 pounds. … Started 12 games in 2010, when he had 46 tackles and 5.5 sacks. … Missed the first four games last season because of a broken foot, but returned to make 22 tackles in seven starts. … Graduated on Dec. 17. … Had a 36-inch vertical leap and a 9-5 broad jump at the NFL Scouting Combine. … Was a linebacker in high school and also won the North Carolina 3A state heavyweight championship in wrestling. … Born April 8, 1989.

What he brings: A big body and good athleticism for someone his size.

Where he fits: The Seahawks will move Sweezy to guard, where he’ll join a unit that returns John Moffitt, Paul McQuistan and Lemuel Jeanpierre – who started games at guard last season.

What they’re saying: “Big, tough, try-hard DT with straight-line speed and stiff movement. Hardworking vocal leader would max out as rotational player.” – Pro Football Weekly

The Seahawks just selected North Carolina defensive tackle J.R. Sweezy with their first pick in the seventh round of the NFL Draft.

The 6-foot-4, 298-pound Sweezy started seven games last season, when he had 20 tackles; and made 12 starts in 2010, when he had 50 tackles and 5.5 sacks.

The pick was the 18^th pick in the round and 225^th overall. The Seahawks acquired the pick from the Raiders in last year’s trade of linebacker Aaron Curry.

A closer look at sixth-round draft choice Winston Guy:

Pick: No. 11 in the round, No. 181 overall.

Pertinent information: 6 feet 1, 218 pounds. … Three-year starter who finished his career with 283 tackles, including 106 in each of the past two seasons. … Injured at the NFL Scouting Combine, he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.53 seconds and had a 36-inch vertical jump at his personal Pro Day. … Went to Lexington (Ky.) Catholic High School, where he won two state championships in football and track. … Born April 23, 1990.

What he brings: Versatility, as he played a hybrid safety/linebacker position last season.

Where he fits: Could factor in as a replacement for Atari Bigby, the veteran safety who signed with the Chargers in free agency. It was Bigby’s presence that allowed the coaches to use Pro Bowl safeties Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor as linebackers in the big nickel package.

What they’re saying: “Durable, competitive, productive box safety who was used in a dual role in college, often playing like an additional linebacker. Could compete for a roster spot as a No. 4 safety and special-teams contributor.” – Pro Football Weekly

What he’s saying: “Obviously the Seahawks saw a lot of stuff in me that no other teams did. So I’m just pleased to be part of the organization.”

A closer look at sixth-round draft choice Jeremy Lane:

Pick: No. 2 in the round, No. 172 overall. The pick, which originally belonged to the Colts, was acquired Thursday night in a trade with the Eagles.

Pertinent information: 6 feet, 180 pounds. … Started at corner last season, but actually likes playing as the nickel back better because “I like to hit people,” he said. … Had a career-high 41 tackles last season and then was named defensive MVP in the Casino Del Sol College All-Star Game after making eight tackles and breaking up a pass. … Ran the 40-yard dash in 4.48 seconds and popped a 42-inch vertical leap at his Pro Day workout. … His legal name is Jeremy Johnson, but he goes by Lane as a tribute to his mother. … Born July 14, 1990.

What he brings: More speed and athletic ability to an overcrowded secondary.

Where he fits: The Seahawks already have Pro Bowl corner Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman, the incumbent starter on the other side who got some all-rookie consideration last season. Then there’s former first-round draft choice Marcus Trufant; versatile, and valuable, Roy Lewis; on-the-mend third-year corner Walter Thurmond; and Byron Maxwell, a draft pick last year. Lane will have to oust one of those players to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.

What they’re saying: “Lean, high-cut, long-levered, underdeveloped corner who showed intriguing physicality against LSU and in post-season all-stat competition and has shown enough upside to warrant interested as a No. 4 or No. 5 corner and special teams contributor.” – Pro Football Weekly

What he’s saying: “I was very motivated. I knew that (game against LSU) was my chance to go out there and show the world what I can do – I can hang with the big boys. Just because my school size doesn’t mean anything. So I know that was my chance to take a shot and show everybody what I can do. When the time came, I believe I stepped up and did it.”

The Seahawks just selected Kentucky strong safety Winston Guy with their second pick in the sixth round of the NFL Draft.

The 6-foot-1, 218-pound Guy posted 120 tackles last season, including a team-high 14 for losses. In addition to playing safety, the Wildcats also would use Guy as a linebacker in their nickel defense. He also played free safety in 2009.

The Seahawks now have two picks in the seventh – and final – round.

The Seahawks just selected Northwestern State (La.) cornerback Jeremy Lane with their first pick in the sixth round of the NFL Draft.

The 6-foot, 190-pound Lane had 44 tackles in 10 starts last season and then was named the defensive MVP in the Casino Del Sol College All-Star game after making eight tackles and breaking up a pass.

The pick the Seahawks used to select Lane was acquired Friday in a trade with the Eagles.

A closer look at fifth-round draft choice Korey Toomer:

Pick: No. 19 in the round, No. 154 overall. The pick was acquired Friday in a trade with the Jets.

Pertinent information: 6 feet 2, 234 pounds. … Redshirted in 2010 after breaking a hand in fall camp, and returned to be voted team MVP last season when he had 68 tackles – including 10 each against Texas A&M and Louisiana Tech. … Not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, but ran the 40-yard dash in 4.54 seconds and popped a 42-inch vertical at his Pro Day workout in front of Seahawks linebackers coach Ken Norton. … Was a two-year starter at Arizona Western Junior College, where he had 86 tackles as a sophomore and 44 as a freshman. … Two-way starter at Shadow Ridge High School in Las Vegas. … Born Dec. 9, 1988.

What he brings: Versatility and speed to a unit that can use both. He played end, linebacker and even fullback at Idaho.

Where he fits: Leroy Hill and K.J. Wright are the incumbent starters on the outside for the Seahawks, but the competition for the backup spots includes veteran special teams standout Heath Farwell and second-year players Malcolm Smith, Mike Morgan and Adrian Moten.

What they’re saying: “Toomer was the Vandals’ most versatile player in 2011, playing two linebacker spots, defensive end and even saw a few snaps at fullback. His time on the offensive side of the ball included three touchdowns against Utah State.” – NFLDraftScout.com

What he’s saying: “I was able to be very versatile. I was able to play defensive end, linebacker, nickel. They were able to put me all over the field, and it made it harder for offenses to figure out what our scheme was.”

The Seahawks just selected Idaho outside linebacker Korey Toomer in the fifth round of the NFL Draft.

The 6-foot-2, 234-pound Toomer was not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, but made up for it at his Pro Day workout by running the 40-yard dash in 4.54 seconds and popping a 42-inch vertical leap.

Toomer was a backup in 2009, redshirted in 2010 because of an injury and moved in to the starting lineup last season.

The pick to draft Toomer was acquired in a trade with the Eagles on Friday. The Seahawks lost their own fifth-round pick in the 2010 trade for leading rusher Marshawn Lynch.

A closer look at fourth-round draft choice Jaye Howard:

 Pick: No. 19 in the round, No. 114 overall. The pick was acquired Thursday night in a trade with the Eagles.

Pertinent information: 6 feet 3, 301 pounds. … Arrived at Florida as a 230-pound defensive end/linebacker. … Started 25 games for the Gators, and had 65 tackles last season. … Also played basketball at Jones High School in Apopka, Fla. … Born Dec. 20, 1988.

What he brings: Another big, athletic body to add to the competition on the defensive line.

Where he fits: Although some draft guides refer to Howard as a nose tackle prospect, the Seahawks envision him supplying some pass rush from the three-technique tackle spot. The fact that he played at Florida for coordinator Dan Quinn, the Seahawks’ former D-line coach, helped the team in its evaluation of Howard.

What they’re saying: “He is a fluid and flexible athlete for the position with the natural explosion to shoot the gaps and gain a step on blockers, but he doesn’t always play at full intensity and has poor snap anticipation.” – NFLDraftScout.com

What he’s saying: “It helped me a lot (playing for Quinn). He got my technique right. He stayed on me this year. I appreciate him coming in and just getting me to where I needed to be. So it helps me a lot going into (the Seahawks system). I’m sort of familiar with it. So it helps.”
