The story of the Seahawks' weekend—heck, of the entire 2018 NFL draft—was and will remain Shaquem Griffin.

Seattle taking the speedy, hard-hitting linebacker in the fifth round, reuniting him with his twin brother Shaquill, was a moment that led to a first: tears flowing inside Seahawks headquarters over a draft choice.
