For one of the few times in recent years, if not their Seahawks tenure, Pete Carroll and John Schneider drafted the people’s choice.

They traded a third- and a fourth-round choice to move into the final spot of round two and selected Mississippi wide receiver D.K. Metcalf, an internet sensation for being a testing freak at the NFL combine and pre-draft workouts.
