You might have noticed that none of the Seattle Seahawks’ eight selections in the 2020 NFL Draft addressed the secondary. Despite John Schneider’s noted disapproval of what happened in 2019, no corners or safeties were taken.
This is just the second time under Schneider and Pete Carroll that Seattle has opted not to take a secondary player in the draft. In 2016, the Seahawks had ten draft picks but their only defensive selections were interior linemen Jarran Reed and Quinton Jefferson.
Of course, that isn’t to say Seattle didn’t use draft capital to improve the secondary; Quinton Dunbar was acquired with a fifth-round pick, and he should factor heavily into the team’s defensive plans this season.
