As I've watched the NFL Draft these past few days, I cannot help but notice how some newly drafted players are being compared to players on the Super Bowl champion Seahawks' defense. When other teams are choosing players, trying to replicate the Seahawks model, the original can afford to move freely up and down the draft board picking talent to join their team.
There's so much trust in the John and Pete, and their scouts, Seahawks' fans aren't barking too loudly. Many fans can't say they've even seen of some of these players in action! And, in past years where the Seahawks' draftees would be roundly criticized, the NFL "experts" haven't nearly been ... I guess the shine of a Lombardi buys you leeway.
Could this be the year when the Seahawks' brain trust actually stumbles ... that they become so full of themselves that their overconfidence impacts their judgement?
No doubt, there will be a story or two about draft grades. The best way to judge this class of young men coming into the fold is after a few years within Pete's program. But, don't be surprised if someone grades the Seahawks a "C" or an incomplete.
I'm good with that...
