Why the Seahawks traded Jeremy Lane instead of Jimmy Graham

It was noted in several outlets, most notably our own, that Jimmy Graham could have been leaving Seattle. As co-expert Lee Vowell wrote, the likeliest scenario was a move for the Texans Duane Brown. Luckily, that trade didn’t go down. Instead, the Seahawks moved the somewhat disgruntled cornerback Jeremy Lane for Duane Brown. The newest Seahawk should go far in solving the now seasons-long offensive line shortcomings of Seattle.

Case in point: in their most recent game, the Seahawks running backs managed five yards rushing. Yes, five yards. Tyler Lockett lost another two.
