Why Kawann Short fell and why Sheldon Rankins won’t
Josh Norris’ latest mock draft has Sheldon Rankins paired with the Seahawks at #26:
“Don’t get me started on Rankins. He is a top 10 talent in this draft. He is a true upfield disruptor who is smooth, quick and versatile with his hands to win the balance advantage. I’ll go as far to say that Rankins could be this year’s Kawann Short. The Seahawks love disruption, and Rankins would offer it.”
In January 2013 I wrote a piece suggesting the Seahawks should draft Kawann Short with their first round pick (later traded for Percy Harvin):
“He generally does a great job getting off blocks using nice hands and flashing great athleticism for his size.
