Lockett was 2nd in the nation in punt returning in NCAA. This is why we drafted him, and why its a brilliant pick.
Seahawks had so many drives last year that started way too deep for comfort. If Lockett is a pick to be the next dynamic kick returner/punt returner, well this is simply a brilliant pick and screw those other 3 picks, this guy may provide way bigger impact than we realize.
This will improve our offense tremendously. We had Brian freakin Walters returning punts last year. Any of us watching knew it was an absolute grind for our offense to move the ball. Add in the fact that we would never, ever get any yards on a punt return especially after our defense would play lights out deep in opposing territory. Immediately this guy is going to increase the effectiveness of our offense by starting probably on average 10 yards further up the field, plus giving us a serious home run threat on returns.
Love the pick, he could be a good wide receiver too, but I think we just significantly improved our team just on this one pick alone. Home run in my opinion.
