For having just three picks, Seattle did pretty much what they needed to, and all three guys have the potential to really shine -- at least in time. No quarrel from me.
To me Eskridge and Tre Brown where picks for this year. Stone Forsythe is a future pick and a good one at that for the round they acquired him in. They needed to be thinking ahead at tackle.pittpnthrs":37xo0im4 said:They drafted for the future instead of the here and now.

"...and nailing UDFA..." makes it sound like they already did their UDFA thing. Who did they nail? I thought UDFA would go on for most of the upcoming week, or at least a few days after today.Maelstrom787":2jo02k2a said:B+.
Would've been a solid B, but getting Forsythe at 208 and nailing UDFA brings it up to an B+. Great use of the capital they had.

I dont think Eskridge will have any impact. I'm hopeful for Brown, but that could go pear shaped really quick too.

Were you expecting them to be able to get guys that would be starters from day 1 in the 4th and 6th rounds?

I was expecting more than a #3 WR that will probably net them around 300 yards receiving and 4 or less TDs for the season (could have gotten that in free agency). If he does become a stud like so many on here are convinced of, it'll take 3 or 4 years for it to happen. I like Brown, but CB should have been addressed with the first pick for better talent if it was going to be wasted on a WR. Forsythe is a project that will take years to develop.

Okay. Point out the ready-to-start awesome boundary cornerback that was sitting there in the second.
If you're gonna criticize, be prepared to give specifics on who exactly was there that matches the description of what you're saying they should've taken.

RD 2- Dwayne Eskridge. A. Quality WR depth was needed. Versatile player with homerun potential. Defenses that want to double DK, can be made to pay.
RD 3 via trade – Jamal Adams. C+
RD 4 – Tre Brown. B. Another position of need. If he ends up starting over Tre Flowers, this could be a great pick.
RD 5 via trade – Gabe Jackson. A. Filled a much-needed hole on the roster.
RD 6 – Stone Forsythe. A. Draft steal with very good potential if properly developed.
RD 7 via trade – Carlos Dunlap. A. Impact player who addresses another big need.
UDFA – A. Seems like some good steals. And some needed O-line depth.
Overall B+ grade. The roster is filling out nicely, and they're not done yet. Still need some upgrades at center and running back.
