DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett among ESPN’s biggest draft steals of the past decade
A lack of size had scouts thinking Lockett would be nothing more than a slot receiver and return man, but he has become so much more as a foundational player for the Seahawks. The speedy Lockett has been a top-tier deep threat while also contributing on special teams and opening eyes around the league to the benefit of an inside receiver. He now has four straight 1,000-yard seasons and five straight years with at least eight TD catches.
Lockett’s consistent high-level productivity over the past five years, in addition to what he provided as a rookie both on offense and as a special teams returner, has me wondering if Tyler should be the one ranked above Metcalf in this exercise. Either way they’re both justifiably in the top-50. As you might expect, Travis Kelce is far and away the biggest draft steal, ahead of former Kansas City Chiefs teammate Tyreek Hill, current AFC West rival Davante Adams, and current Seahawks rival Cooper Kupp.
Kelce was drafted with the No. 63 pick in the 2013 NFL Draft and is undeniably a first-ballot Hall of Fame player. I highly recommend not taking a look at what happened with pick 62. Oh well, it’s not like history is on course to repeat itself given how Round 2 of the 2021 draft unfolded, right? I imagine that in a few years, a redo of this article could very well include a few Seahawks who were selected last year... and maybe even this year!
