Quantity doesnt equal quality. Their OL is still a huge weakness.

A lot of teams trade picks within the division. I don't think there's any "cardinal rule" against it.
They probably wanted the extra picks to move down 3 spots. They're drafts have been terrible since 2011 besides Wilson and Lockett.

Seattle did strengthen their defensive depth considerably if the guys they took develop. But only adding Pocic to that O Line is an issue. Don't see him playing tackle at a high level so they are stuck with the same crap outside. The hubris is amazing.

I believe they also snagged a tackle in the late rounds, but they need serious help in that department, teams are going to tee off on Willow worse than last year.
All the guys they got on defense won't come close to being a competent fill-in should an injury take down one of their starters. Their D is still legit even tho it has declined from previous years (still very good compared to the rest of the league)... I'm just not sold on their depth chart.
Their salary cap is tight. They haven't been very good with draft picks (of need). They're not getting younger. They've played a s**t load of football (always in the playoffs / SB).... they're wearing down and it will show again this year. The NFC West throne will be up for grabs soon.

49ers and Cardinals upgraded their pass rushes, Rams are still loaded, meanwhile Seattle improved their poor OL marginally.
Bottomline, Willow is getting f**ked up.
Originally posted by Hysterikal:People are giving them crap for passing on linemen, but who says they liked those linemen? Great, freely-available draft publications say that the linemen they passed on were great prospects and would've filled an obvious need. So what? Those same publications say that CJ Beathard was a reach, but our front office took him anyway because they feel strongly about him. I see a lot of parallels here.
Can't believe they passed up Lamp. But they got my dude McDowell and I am terrified to be right that he is going to be an incredible pro now that he won't be having to play NT and face double and triple teams virtually every play.

Seattle has decided that the OL is where they'll cut corners. Money goes to defense and skill players.
