Quote:Not that I am knocking Seattle's drafting, but this presumes they didn't reach for any of their picks.

 

They drafted a T out of Alabama in the first round-James Carpenter.  After struggling at RT, they eventually moved him inside to G.  While there are definitely some that are worth first round picks, I'm not sure, as a general rule, taking guards in the first round is not a good thing.  If they drafted him with the idea he had the bulk and the athleticism to be a RT, and they have shifted him inside to G, that likely means they reached on the pick. 

 

Furthermore, they took Richard Sherman in the 5th round in 2011, more than a full round after they drafted WR Kris Durham, who is no longer on the team.  If Sherman is among the top 2-3 CBs in the NFL and great value at 5, then taking a WR over him who is no longer on the team has to represent a reach to some degree.
 

Sometimes an evaluation is wrong, but when you start bumping guys up because of position over guys that grade out better without respect to position you end up where the Jaguars are right now.
