draft class a B+, saying, “it’s not quite an A because the quarterback issue could linger into 2023.”Well, if I were doing a regrade, it’d have to be an A+, right? The Seahawks struck gold with cornerback Tariq Woolen and found solid rookie starters in offensive tackles Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas and running back Kenneth Walker. And that quarterback issue? Geno Smith went out and threw 30 touchdown passes, earning himself a big new contract.
Kiper wasn’t as keen on the Seahawks’ 2nd-round picks, especially since one of them was a running back : Edge rusher Derick Hall had 16 sacks over the past two seasons, but he went over a couple of other better pass-rushers. And they had bigger needs to fill when they took running back Zach Charbonnet . There was a run on defensive tackles in Day 2, and I was surprised Seattle didn’t jump on one instead of taking a second-round running back in back-to-back drafts. In fact, after Pete Carroll & Co. added Kenny McIntosh , they have now selected 11 backs in the past 10 drafts, most in the NFL.
