The Seahawks’ unwavering commitment to a new philosophy in the NFL Draft
Back in 2010, ‘11, ‘12, and I imagine what they were trying to do for a short while after that, the Seahawks somewhat revolutionized the league by going after specific and unorthodox traits. That’s largely how the biggest and fastest defense in America came together.So that was then, this is now, and Seattle has two full drafts of such a strong dedication to BPA that ironically it results in some of the same head-scratching as before. It’s just a different approach.
From the 2019 class, only DK Metcalf has a weighted career Approximate Value of over 10. He is good. The next best cumulatively successful player from that class is Cody Barton, with a 4-year AV of 10.Obviously that’s oversimplified, but it is immensely hard to change a significant philosophy that has made someone successful, short of being fired. Pete and John have done it.The earliest reports of Jalen Carter to the Seahawks beganBut he’s not here.
So instead of trading down, taking Tyree Wilson or anybody else on the D-line that was a consensus “good player” but not special, they stood firm, did what like two out of a thousand mock drafts suggested, and took Witherspoon.Widely regarded as someone theAnd so while corner is technically a premium position, the front office did not overvalue for need. They did not overvalue for positional value, which only would have been quarterback or D-line anyway.
The two running backs serve as the second good example of why this newfound philosophy still frustrates people.
