It's the day after a draft John Schneider softened his words about it being a great day in Seahawks history. Was he right when he initially said this was a historic draft, or was he right to walk it back a day later? I walk you through each pick and what I think now that it is complete. I will also walk through grades from some other evaluators. It's gonna be fun!

DK Metcalf was an enigma in Seattle. Nobody had his combination of size and speed at the receiver position. He never fully realized that potential and is now a Steeler. Gone is his tremendous talent, but also some of his undeniable shortcomings. I knew Metcalf was not great in the red zone. I had no idea just how bad. I share his numbers here and explain why Seattle may actually benefit from his absence in some situations.
