Seattle Seahawks 2021 draft fails to address most team needs
Alternate idea
If the Seahawks, for some reason, didn’t think there was an offensive lineman worth selecting, then they should have drafted linebacker Nick Bolton.
Truthfully, even if Eskridge makes a Pro Bowl in a few years, he’s not what the Seahawks need now or even a year from now. Their window for contention won’t last too much longer, two, three years tops. That’s why it was necessary to shore up the offensive line.
Tre Brown
There must be some sort of draft plan the Seahawks skipped over in their pre-event presser. Otherwise, why the need for undersized players who might excel returning kicks.
The Seattle Seahawks made their second selection of the draft in Round 4. It was slightly delayed after they traded down, moving from 129 to 137. With the pick, they chose cornerback Tre Brown from Oklahoma. Don’t get me wrong. This is the NFL, and teams can never have enough good corners.
Teams, however, like cornerbacks who can contest catches. Then there is the whole point of avoiding penalties. Brown had 14 penalties for holding or pass interference called against him over the past two seasons. He’ll need lots of coaching up to be successful in the pros.
I wonder how much D.J .Reed's success in 2020 impacted the #Seahawks picking Oklahoma CB Tre Brown (5-10).
His easiest path to playing time is on the outside, not at nickel. Ugo Amadi and Marquise Blair are already there.
