DISCLAIMER (READ FIRST!!)
Yes, this is another meaningless exercise, because players are a product of their environment and another teams success could very, very easily be another teams bust.
Regardless, I thought it'd be interesting to see where everyone would've gone if they had their way with our draft capital. Just for fun. Might be interesting to look back on.
RULES:
No trades and you can only pick players who were available at each selection. Here is a link to an image of the full draft (it has a few inaccuracies but not enough to affect things much).
My picks are as follows:
1/16: Byron Murphy, DT
Exactly the same. Perfect selection at 16 for me.
3/81: Christian Haynes, OG
Also the same. Ridiculous value for a pro-ready guard.
4/118: Malik Mustapha, S
The deviations begin. Mustapha was a preeminent draft crush of mine.
4/121: TJ Tampa, CB
Pure value. TJ Tampa is a ridiculous athlete who plays with an attitude. Check out this dunk.
5/136: Kitan Oladapo, S
A really underrated strong safety. Long, decently rangy, very competent, and has some pop to his hits. I think he's going to be a steal for GB.
6/179: Malik Washington, WR
My biggest draft crush. Uber-productive, good returner, and I see prodigious YAC ability in his game. I pick him here only due to the benefit of hindsight - I thought he'd go in the fourth.
6/192: DJ James, CB
I wouldn't have made this pick at the time, but I've seen the light on James.
6/207: Michael Barrett, LB
Great scheme fit out of Michigan. Adept in coverage and decently sized.
What say you?
NOTE: Mods, if you think this discussion should be limited to the draft forum, please do move. I just figured it might be interesting to do this here as its specifically Seattle-related in nature and the draft is the hottest team-related topic currently.
