Answer: Nobody!

What gives you faith that it will be different this time?
This is an excellent demonstration of draft value. Our first four picks are worth more draft value than all of those players combined (minus Adams). Similarly, our first two picks in the upcoming draft would be the highest-drafted Seahawk players on this list.

Also, Adams was a first-team all-pro the year we traded for him. Unfortunately, he hasn't lived up to the hype, primarily due to injuries. And I wouldn't include him in any list related to the draft, given he was a known commodity when we traded for him. Or, if you are going that route, you'd want to include all trades/draft picks; otherwise, your skewing perception of our FO based on a handful of mistakes while ignoring successes like Woolen, Quandre, and even Clowney (who should be included in this list if Adams is).

Ah, the Ken Norton drafts. Do the drafts before he left for the Raiders as well. His DLine picks were horrid while he was here. Then you can do the Raiders drafts while he was on staff there. His DLine picks were poor there as well. He does not have an eye for talent. The only ones on your list that weren't Norton's choices were McDowell, who without the mental problems probably would have been a good player and Mafe, who is a good player.

The only issue I have with Brooks is his inability to get our guys shifted properly for the play that is coming. The dropoff in that regard was to be expected though, since Wagner, who I would take over all but three other MLB all time, was elite at it.

Carroll's biggest mistake in his tenure here was bringing Norton back as the DC.

Same defensive coaches, causing the same issues. Regardless of their draft strategy.

They had to get rid of Cable to finally start picking, and developing O-Lineman properly. The same is true for the defense. All doubts will be erased after this season.
Do you ever stop whining and/or taking shots at the front office? The Coaching Staff? At Pete? Ever?
Change the record man.

Key point that is missing is what can they do with more premium draft position because they pulled in a hell of draft last season and on average they pick about 25 spaces better per pick this year than they did last year.

I don't understand the premise, limiting your question to the first 3 rounds.

Who is Your Favorite Pick on Defense, since 2017?
Tariq Woolen.

He has that Seahawk DNA.
You don't understand? Obviously so it fits his narrative.
