Simple question but no simple answer: Who’s the worst draft pick in Seahawks franchise history?
The last couple of Sunday discussion posts have been cordial, fun, and relaxed. It’s justfans reminiscing about favorite players, favorite plays, and “what-if?” situations regarding this year’s team.
Let’s flip this to something negative for this week’s pre-draft chat: Who is the worst draft pick in Seahawks history?2.) Players who were acquired from other teams via traded draft picks3.) I guarantee we’re going to get Malik McDowell as an answer, and even though he never played a down for the Seahawks, he 100 percent counts because he was drafted by Seattle.
Other than that, the criteria is open-ended. Early-round, mid-round, late-round, supplemental draft pick , terrible player, terrible person, didn’t live up to expectations, it’s all up to you! If we go by recent history, I think Aaron Curry is easily one of the worst given he was the fourth overall pick and deemed a “safe pick” when in reality he blew that stupid terminology to smithereens. But in fairness to him,Dan McGwire is the person featured in this photo and he was so terrible as a first-round pick that the Seahawks took the future bust Rick Mirer only two seasons later at 2nd overall in 1993.
I can make a case for Malik McDowell as the worst Seahawks draft pick ever despite never playing a game here. He was supposed to be a key part of Seattle’s rebuilt defensive line and, well, you know the rest. McDowell’s ATV crash left him unavailable, and Seattle eventually traded Jermaine Kearse and a 2018 second-round pick for a year’s worth of Sheldon Richardson. That pick eventually went to the Philadelphia Eagles, who drafted Dallas Goedert.
