ATV guy, Dee Eskridge, Ifedi, LJ Collier and even recently Christian Haynes were horrible picks. 5 massive busts in 16 years probably isn't bad though.
Ifedi a massive bust? He started basically every game of his career with the seahawks didn't he? He got a second contract with another team. Haynes has been a disappointment obviously. Collier is really the one that stands out to me. From the gossip that seemed like a screwed up draft process. That's the one I'd really point at as poor planning and execution
Ifedi was a nightmare but not close to as bad as the rest.. Could have had Ryan Ramczyk instead of Malik McDowell

I know and anyone with a brain knows that a rookie picked in the 4th round is not the correct pick to be your RB1
Unless he turns out to be Chris Warren and Price turns out to be Penny
You can't make draft decisions based on a less than 5% probability outcome.
JS made a good decision, that is if he has the rationale to back it up. But that doesnt mean it was the correct decision, got to play the games to find out. You make as sound a decision as possible and don't second guess it. But that doesn't mean it works

Ifedi was taken 31? I thought he was higher than that. Started 60 games for the Seahawks. He was a innings eater like Bradford

They made an investment to get Stevens, a fourth next draft. I think SH should be intrigued by that. There's hope for a Bradford replacement
“I was unaware of that until they told me on the call,” Stephens said. “I was like, ‘Are you serious right now? You guys are going to trade up for me right now?’ They said you were staring at us on the board, so we had to do something.”

Um, we just won the Super Bowl, dude. Followed by a strong draft. And we have the best coach and GM in the league.

Everything is going to be fine.
You inspired me to find and watch this video. :) :P 8-) :D ;)

Didn't realize SH wrote for the Ringer
The Seahawks painted themselves into a corner in free agency when they let Kenneth Walker leave for the Chiefs, opening a giant hole at the running back position. That left them somewhat desperate to find Walker’s successor in the draft, and when they failed to execute a trade out of the first round, they stayed put and picked Jadarian Price. That’s a pretty massive overpay for my 56th-ranked player, who never was a starter in college and brings limited experience as a pass catcher to the pros

All A's and B's for the overall draft. Can't believe they didn't allow SH submit his F grade for some balance! LOL
My main complaint has been that JS was unable to trade down from that 32nd spot. Seems to me that, based on his own remarks, he would agree that it was "unfortunate".

For the record, my overall grade for this draft would be a C+, but given I know almost nothing about the players drafted, I am hopeful that those who say they are better than their rankings (by draft pundits) know what they're talking about.
So, if you you don't know anything about the players, what are you basing your grade on exactly? They filled the RB opening and replaced the secondary losses and added guard depth. Do you also go to restaurants and Yelp grade them on food you haven't tried? There is no logic to your grade. PLease explain. A draft is graded on talent acquisition - what are you grading?

Did I guarantee it works?? Based on his tape and interviews that I have now listened to there is a damn good chance it will work. Unlike Mike Washington.

Love Julian Neal!! Listen from 59 second mark to 1:20 when he talks about his game. NEVER been hurt is my fav part of it.
