Seattle goes for a promising replacement for Stephanie Cox and then three players that can be given time to develop (and heal).
Before today's draft, head coach Laura Harvey said the team would be looking more to the future with their picks, and they stuck to the plan. Other than 4th overall pick Carson Pickett — who should be expected to compete for a starting left back job — the team went for high-risk, high-reward choices.
Here are some brief summaries of the players the team acquired.
Carson Pickett - D - 1st Round (4th overall)
Widely considered one of the best left-sided players in the college game and the best fullback option in the draft, Pickett is a solid two-way player on the left sideline and should be penciled in to take over for the retired Stephanie Cox on the Reign back line.
