But that is not really the case, and the fallout in the five years since is that some fans believe that Seattle is very bad at drafting because they haven’t found “the next Richard Sherman or Kam Chancellor” on day three of the draft. Except that 2010-2012 was a rare exception to how draft results typically play out, not just for the Seahawks, but for any team in league history.
Since I’ve been somewhat critical of the team’s drafting in the middle rounds, especially, I decided to take a look at how Seattle’s draft picks have panned out relative to expectation.
