Grading the Shaquem Griffin pick by the Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks had four picks in the fifth round; Heretofore known as the Seahawks round. Seattle has had lots of success fairly recently in this round, such as Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor. But no one made bigger news than their first pick of the fifth round in the 2018 draft: Shaquem Griffin.
Round 5, Pick 141: Shaquem Griffin, Linebacker, UCF
So this happened. The Seahawks took cornerback Shaquill Griffin’s brother, Shaquem. And though Shaquem plays with one hand, the guy is a beast!
Think about where Griffin would have gone had he not had his “physical liability.” That is in quotes because at no point in his playing life has Griffin not been one of the better players of his teams.
