2019 NFL Draft Do-Overs: NFC West
By Bryan Perez
Seattle Seahawks
Much like the Cardinals, the Seahawks disregarded the offensive line despite having one of the worst starting units in the NFL. They could’ve taken a significant step toward correcting that in the first round if they swapped L.J. Collier for Florida tackle, Jawaan Taylor.
Taylor slipped into the second round because of injury concerns (knee), but at No. 29 overall, he would’ve been worth the risk. He was considered the top offensive tackle in the draft by many respected draft analysts and the value he offered Seattle at the end of the first round was gigantic (no pun intended).
Wilson is a magician in the pocket and he’s the master of turning chaos into huge plays, but at some point, the Seahawks have to do a better job at protecting him. Taylor was a perfect need-meets-value option in the first round that the front office missed out on.
