Seattle Seahawks 2021 draft fails to address most team needs
Stone Forsythe
Stone Forsythe wasn’t a terrible pick. Then again, there was a reason why Forsyth lasted until the end of Round 6 (208th overall). At almost 6-9 and 310-pounds, he’s a very poor run-blocker who was out of his depth against SEC run blockers.
There is good news.
- Forsyth has O-lineman size that can’t be taught.
- He’s a pretty good pass protector.
- Duane Brown is there to teach him the ropes.
Given enough time, Forsyth could become a decent NFL offensive tackle. Do the Seattle Seahawks, more importantly, Russell Wilson, have the time to wait for it to happen?
The job
Let me make one other thing clear. Because someone is a fan or covers a team, they don’t have to agree with everything the team does. When someone can prove that 100 percent of their decisions are correct, then the narrative changes. Until then, they are open to criticism. Their job is to help the team, and management failed on this one.
I certainly make mistakes, and there are many readers out there ready to point it out. It’s part of the job. Schneider and Carroll know it’s the same for them, only the stakes are higher.
