False Narratives: You need a top-20 pick to get a ‘premium’ offensive lineman

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: “Seattle never picks in the Top 20 so they can’t get a premium (insert player position here).”

Sounds super familiar, right?

Perhaps you have even thought (or written) those words yourself.

But is it true?

Or is it a case of perception and reality not aligning?

Today I am going to try to convince you, my fellow 12s, that this is a false narrative.

In the process of doing so, I will ignore the urge to point out that Seattle “never” has a top-20 pick because they consistently field a Top-12 team.
