I must confess that when Mr. Charisma himself, Roger Goodell, announced the Seahawks pick of Jordyn Brooks, I was completely mystified. Okay, maybe half mystified and half stunned. No…let’s make that 60 percent mystified, 25 percent stunned, and 15 percent flabbergasted. With a touch of anger. And a dash of WTAF thrown in for good measure. I mean, Jordyn Brooks?
Seattle, the team with the best middle linebacker in the game, drafted an inside linebacker with their first pick. The Hawks, who desperately needed to add pass rush and line protection, who for the first time in nine years didn’t trade up or down from their initial spot, burned that pick to back up the best player at his position the game.
