Lots of voices spoke about the Seattle Seahawks trading up to select former Tennessee football outside linebacker Darrell Taylor in the second round of the NFL Draft. Taylor, whose stock had been rising for weeks, was close to being a projected first-rounder, and according to sources, the Seahawks were “hellbent” on taking him.
Given Seattles desperate need for an edge rusher and Taylor’s ability to play outside linebacker or defensive end, the decision made sense. It didn’t matter that he had to miss the combine due to an injury that he played all of last year with.
