After trading back to pick No. 27 with the Packers, the Seahawks selected San Diego State running back Rashaad Penny.
Fantasy Impact:
This is shocking. It's tough to completely hate a draft pick who you like as a prospect, but this is that situation. The Seahawks do not have the offensive line to support a strong run-game, and on top of that, they have a ton of holes on the defensive side of the ball. Penny is most definitely a workhorse, and one that we liked as a prospect, but this is a head-scratcher, as he's also not quite ready as a pass-blocker. But hey, at least the Seahawks acquired another two draft picks to move back, right? Penny will be deserving of a fantasy pick because of the volume he'll receive, but this was not a good draft pick from a franchise standpoint with so much talent left on the board.
