This April, the Seahawks spent their one piece of notable draft capital (the 56th pick overall) on a smaller receiver from a non-Power 5 school. When the selection was made, many fans saw a mistake; the organization didn’t draft Creed Humphrey or Quinn Meinerz, and also didn’t trade back into the third round.
But what I saw was a kid named D’Wayne Eskridge who has the potential to transform the Seattle offense into something it hasn’t been in the past.
