Not only that, we let proven Offensive Line talent get away.......should have traded up. The ammo was perfect for that. Only one of those thirds was compensatory.
I do like that Trevor Boykin and Vernon Adams are coming to camp. TCUs qb was sign as a undrafted free agent and Vernon Adams is comin in for a 3 day tryout. Supercool.
I mostly agreed with your post, it captured a lot of what I was feeling during the draft as well. Day 2 was very frustrating. Like you said, I was really hoping Seattle would move around to load up on offensive line given how the draft was falling. Had Seattle stayed put in the second round, they could have had the most athletic and top rated guard Cody Whitehair at #56, and then used the 4th rounder they didn't spend to trade up in round 3 for Shon Coleman or Le'Raven Clark. It would have been pretty unreal to start of the draft with Ifedi, Whitehair and Coleman/Clark, while still having two more 3rd rounders to spend on whoever.
I'm just a fan and I'm very glad that they are running the team and not me. But still, there are frustrating moments sometimes.
I'm 100% fine with Seattle making "who?" picks. I'd never heard of Jefferson, but after looking into it he seems like a great pick. Sherman, Wright, and Chancellor were all "who?" picks for me. I'm totally cool with PCJS going off the radar.
Agreed with you that getting Boykin and (maybe) Vernon Adams is a huge lift for this draft. If Boykin turns into the next Tyrod Taylor, or if Adams makes the team and turns into Russell Wilson-lite, then I'd have to bump this draft up a couple of notches. Having a good backup QB is huge, especially given our OL issues.

Jarran Reed was regarded as one of the best run stuffing DT to come out in a while. He has the potential to be better than Mebane which is high impact.
I am a lot higher on Alex Collins than you are. He has great vision and his ability to navigate and slice through the middle of the line is VERY reminiscent of Marshawn (not saying he is Marshawn but they both had excellent vision and ability between the tackles).
CJ Prosise has a chance to develop into an outstanding HB.
Rees Ohdiambo was regarded highly by most scouts we'll see if he can remain healthy.
Overall I see the potential for a lot of high impact players here. Not sure why you are so down on this class or this years class as a whole.
Ifedi has a pretty good chance to be a cornerstone guy. I liked that pick a lot.
Reed is a good player and has value for Pete, but he's a 2 down specialist with limited free agency value. Collins has got some flaws and is a project IMO. Procise is a pretty good 3rd down back who is not a great fit for ZBS on 1st and 2nd downs. Rees Ohdiambo is less athletic and less durable than John Moffitt. I like Vannett a lot, but he is a pure blocking TE so his value is limited.
Jefferson was my favorite pick. He'll be a 3rd down pass rusher to start off but with pass rushing DTs you never know, sometimes they develop into 3 down players like Jaye Howard did.
I liked the UDFA haul.
It just seemed like Seattle drafted very few players, relative to past drafts, that project as full-time / 3 down players and instead emphasized part timer and specialists with limited value.
Your off base on Reed he's more than a 1T only player. Pete's already said he has enough athleticism to move around and he will make the whole defense better with his ability to stuff the run and allow our pass rushers to do there jobs.
