The Russell Wilson trade was pretty bad however you slice it. It may be years until the Seattle Seahawks find a new franchise quarterback and perhaps even decades before they get another one on Wilson’s level. That said, the team has made much worse trades in recent years – especially the ones involving Jimmy Graham, Percy Harvin and Jamal Adams.
While Denver definitely got the best of the deal, Seattle at least got a bunch of draft capital and couple of solid starting pieces in the trade. To be fair, the jury will be out on quarterback Drew Lock until we get to see him perform during the preseason. For now, we’re not thrilled by what we’ve seen from him in the NFL so far. However, the other two players that came over from the Broncos are excellent pickups.
Shelby Harris may be the league’s most underrated defensive lineman. He disrupts the offense in multiple ways – mainly rushing the quarterback, stuffing the run and getting his hands up in passing lanes for deflections. Harris has a remarkable 25 PBUs in his career.
