48. Seattle Seahawks (from NYJ)
Darrell Taylor | EDGE | Tennessee
The Seahawks draft to the beat of their own drum, and this pick is yet another example. After making another puzzling pick in the first round with Texas Tech linebacker Jordyn Brooks in the first round, the Seahawks trade up another one here.
At full strength, Taylor showed flashes of potential that definitely warranted top-50 consideration, but injuries and inconsistency kept him from living up to his full potential.
If he can stay healthy at the next level, this pick could pan out in a big way. But it’s a risky pick when there were many other prospects available that would have been better values at positions of need especially after moving up the board.
