2010: A+. They killed it.
2011: C-. Full of "who!" picks. (Obviously, I was very wrong on this one)
2012: A+++++. Loved Wilson pick to death. Loved the Irvin pick. Thought Wagner would be a very good player. Liked Turbin a lot. Liked Lane.
2013: C+ Michael was exciting, and Hill was under-rated. Hated the rest of that draft. Liked UDFA though.
2014: C-. Only pick I liked at the time was Norwood. In retrospect, I like Richardson though I worry about durability.
So far, I'd give the 2015 draft a solid A. I'd much rather have Graham than DGB. Clark is a very exciting player with pro-bowl upside. Lockett feels like getting Brandin Cooks in the 3rd round. Really exciting draft so far. Seattle is stockpiling future stars rather than filling holes. That's fine by me.
I'm not knowledgeable enough to say either of the picks won't work out. What I think is interesting and would love to know is the why behind the timing. Not saying they were wrong or made a mistake. None of us have enough info to determine that. Clark has baggage and Lockette is undersized. Players we could easily imagine falling to the lower rounds. Perhaps they had inside knowledge on what other teams were targeting and felt these guys wouldn't fall? We'll never know, but I would love to be sitting next to PC and JS while this stuff is going down. That's the real story.
