3 mistakes the Seahawks made in the NFL Draft this year

1. Selecting WR Dwayne Eskridge in Round 2

Some think the best way to make a quarterback happy is by building him up with weapons. For Wilson, it could be that way, but they also are hoping to build an offensive line.

Adding a slot receiver in Eskridge is a baffling move, primarily because the slot position was one area that didn’t need an upgrade.

The 5-foot-9 Bronco is a talented target with great speed up the middle.  In just six games, Eskridge caught eight touchdowns while averaging 23.3 yards per reception. However, when looking at the snap count, he played over 75 percent of his snaps inside at the slot position.

Why is this a problem? Pro Bowl target Tyler Lockett played over 63 percent of snaps on the inside. This offseason, Seattle gave  him a four-year, $69.2 million extension weeks before the draft.

In a deep wide receiver class, adding a pass-catcher is far from ideal. Carroll said this offseason he hopes to be a more balanced offense. As of now, neither the run or passing game is completely fixed just due to the status of what could happen in the trenches.
