KIRKLAND — The Seahawks dropped a few spots in the NFL draft order after the league awarded compensatory picks to 15 teams Monday, altering where Seattle and other teams were to have originally picked.

The Seahawks' draft position in the first, second and third rounds did not change — they will have the 25th, 55th and 86th overall picks on April 26. But on the second day of the draft, Seattle moved from the 117th pick to the 121st (fourth round), from No. 182 to 189 (sixth) and from No. 223 to 233 (seventh).

The Seahawks do not have a fifth-round pick. Compensatory picks are awarded to teams that have lost more or better free-agent players — based on salary, playing time and postseason awards — to teams than it signed.

Moon in court

Warren Moon appeared Monday at a pretrial hearing in his drunken driving case, which is scheduled for a jury trial in June.

A pretrial motion hearing is scheduled June 10. Moon was arrested by Medina police on Dec. 28 after he refused a field sobriety and breath test. Moon, a Hall of Fame quarterback and member of the Seahawks radio broadcast team, pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence in February. The case is being heard at Kirkland Municipal Court, which contracts with Medina for court services.

Moon has a hearing scheduled later to review his compliance with a negligent-driving sentence imposed in August 2007. The question is whether Moon's refusal of a field-sobriety test in December violates the terms of his previous sentence.
