In a move that was a long time coming, the Seahawks waived Malik McDowell just before training camp opened today. He was expected to wreak havoc on opposing teams, and anchor the defensive line for a decade. Instead, he never even made it to training camp, let alone play a down for Seattle. Injured in an ATV accident, it certainly seems his NFL career is over without ever taking the field. The ramifications of his draft will live on for quite some time, unfortunately.
The Seahawks biggest need heading into the 2017 draft was generally considered to be the offensive line.
