Seahawks redraft: 2013

Inspired by the thread xgeoff posted, and a post inside it.. I think this redraft will be interesting given the "quality" of that draft and how most analysts believe its probably one of the worst drafts in some time.

Seahawks draft was as follows:
1 (25): traded to Vikings for WR Percy Harvin
2 (62): RB Christine Michael - Texas A&M
3 (87): DT Jordan Hill - Penn State
4 (123): WR Chris Harper - Kansas State
5 (137): DT Jesse Williams - Alabama
5 (138): CB Tharold Simon - LSU
5 (158): TE Luke Willson - Rice
6 (194): RB Spencer Ware - LSU
7 (220): G Ryan Seymour - Vanderbilt
7 (231): DE Ty Powell - Harding
7 (241): DT/G Jared Smith - New Hampshire
7 (242): T Michael Bowie - Oklahoma State

In this redraft, you CAN select someone 25th overall and essentially wipe out the Percy Harvin trade. Why? Because it's fantasy anyway and we can't go back in time so.. go crazy! Besides there are some fun names available between 25 and 62 and it should bring a lot of different drafts as a result.

Here's your guide for the rest of it:

Good luck on your quest to build the best team hindsight can create!

1 (25): WR DeAndre Hopkins
2 (62): RB Christine Michael. Just kidding! DB Tyrann Mathieu
3 (87): DT Brandon Williams
4 (123): WR Kenny Stills
5 (137): DB/PR Micah Hyde
5 (138): CB Tharold Simon
5 (158): RB Latavius Murray
6 (194): RB Spencer Ware
7 (220): RB CJ Anderson
7 (231): QB BJ Daniels
7 (241): WR Marlon Brown
7 (242): CB Nickell Robey

1 (25): WR DeAndre Hopkins
2 (62): OG Larry Warford
3 (87): DT Brandon Williams
4 (123): DE William Golston
5 (137): WR Kenny Stills
5 (138): DB Tharold Simon
5 (158): OT Ricky Wagner
6 (194):
7 (220):
7 (231):
7 (241):
7 (242):

That's about as far as I could get. I'll just go with the Hawks actual picks for the rest. Wow, this entire draft class was pretty weak, wasn't it?

Looking at these redrafts....man the 2013 draft sucked.

Mine:

1 (25): DT Kawann Short - Purdue
2 (62): WR Keenan Allen - Cal
3 (87): DE/LB Alex Okafor - Texas
4 (123): RB Latavius Murray - UCF
5 (137): WR Kenny Stills - Oklahoma
5 (138): CB Tharold Simon - LSU

I agree with this one.

1. C Travis Frederick
2. OT Terron Armstead
3. DE Alex Okafor
4. RB Denard Robinson
5. WR Kenny Stills
5. CB Tharold Simon
5. TE Luke Willson
6. DT Chris Jones
7. BJ Daniels
7. David King
7. Alvin Bailey
7. Michael Bowie

Looking back, seems like the consensus on team needs was WR / Pass-catching TE, DT .. then more pass rush OLB/DE and QB depth cause Flynn was on the way out. We still had Unger and a deep defensive backfield.

A lot of people were pretty hell-bent on replacing Breno at RT after all the penalties and subpar play.

This guy had the right idea... man, did we botch that whole thing up starting with the Harvin disaster.

1. Wide Receiver

The Seahawks should start fresh at this position. I think you keep Golden Tate around, but everyone else’s roster spots are fair game. It would be ideal if Sidney Rice could stick around, but at a reduced price. I think he’s finally starting to regain his full health, which could provide Seattle with a dangerous weapon in 2013. This is a position that could really make or break the Seahawks’ 2013 campaign. They need a consistent number one receiver, and I think they have a chance to get Keenan Allen in the later portion of the first round because of his injuries. If not him, they could definitely have a realistic shot at DeAndre Hopkins, who was the best receiver in college football in 2012.

In complete hindsight,

1.25: Trade down 10-15 for 3rd Rounder.

1.29: Trade 2nd rounder + 2014 1st Rounder to Patriots.

Trade late 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th to move up early 3rd round.

1. OC, Travis Federick
2. DT, Kawaan Short
3. CB, Tyrain Mathieu
3. WR, Keenan Allen
5. TE, Luke Wilson
7. RB, CJ Anderson (udfa)
7. OT, Michael Bowie

2014 draft would look something like:

2.64 Trade down 20 spots for 4th rounder.

3rd: OG, Trai Turner
3rd: TE, Richard Rodgers
4th: WR, Martavius Bryant
4th: CB, Bene Benwikere
5th: DE, Aaron Lynch (via Oakland for Flynn)
5th: OT, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif
6th: OT, Seantral Henderson
7th: Traded for Terrelle Pryor, if not toss-up between RB, Isiah Crowell or WR, Allen Hurns.

2015:

I would still trade for Graham.
I would still select Frank Clark.
I would still trade up for Tyler Lockett even with Baldwin, Allen, Bryant, and possibly Hurns.

Dont know about the other picks still to early to tell with Poole, Glowinski, Smith, and Sokoli.

SI's regrading of Seahawks 2013 draft was not pretty... When picking first at #62 there's a good chance of that I guess. Keep that Harvin pick and use it on a receiver in that range, DeAndre Hopkins, even with everything else as it was from that point on, and maybe a three-peat and a much different perception. http://www.si.com/nfl/2016/05/05/nfl-dr ... is-results
