The Seattle Seahawks traded the No. 32 overall pick to the Minnesota Vikings, who turned the pick into Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater but things may have gone very differently had one player been on the board for the Seahawks.

According to New England Patriots beat writers Doug Kyed and Mike Loyko, the Seattle Seahawks were targeting Florida defensive lineman Dominique Easley but were pretty bummed out when the Patriots scooped him up with the No. 29 overall pick.

After Dominique Easley was off the board, the Seahawks then immediately looked to trade the pick and move out of the fist round. They had little to lose at that point, as not only were they technically already in the second round at No. 32, but they moved back to No. 40 overall after the Vikings moved up.

Still, the Seahawks didn’t get their man and will be looking to find someone like him, or perhaps a skill position player like Marqise Lee, with the No. 40 overall pick after missing on Dominique Easley.
