Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III shakes hands with Baylor head coach Art Briles after Griffin announced Wednesday that he would skip his senior year and enter the NFL draft. Do the Seahawks have a chance of getting him? Art Thiel says it's slim.

Baylor quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III announced this week he was skipping his senior year and entering the NFL draft. That got a lot of Seahawks fans wondering whether the team would make a play for him.

KPLU sports commentator Art Thiel said it would take a lot of maneuvering for the Seahawks to even be in place to draft Griffin. And Art wonders if it would be worth it, given what the team would have to give up to get him.

Art Thiel's weekly commentary is coming up tomorrow morning at 5:35 and 7:35 on 88.5 KPLU. Check back here for a blog of our conversation.
