One storyline from around the league the 12th Man might want to keep an eye on is how defensive tackle Jalen Carter fares in Philadelphia. The Seattle Seahawks, despite an obvious need on their interior defensive line, decided to pass on the consensus best player in the draft for cornerback Devon Witherspoon. After weeks of endless mocks having the Seahawks take Jalen Carter, he fell to the Philadelphia Eagles at No. 9 overall.
While it is admittedly hard to question Pete Carroll’s decisions when it comes to cornerbacks, fans will still wonder (at least in the back of their minds) if it was the right decision to draft Witherspoon over Carter. For those still openly critical of said decision, they probably won’t be too pleased to hear word from Eagles camp.
