Seahawks draft re-do: The time Seattle traded down and picked Paul Richardson

Last postseason, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Paul Richardson became a bit of a playoffs legend for his outstanding catches against the Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons. His around-the-body touchdown grab against the Lions is easily one of the best catches you’ll ever see at the NFL level. (How can it be OPI if the defender barrels his body into you?)

That being said, Richardson’s first three seasons with the Seahawks have been tainted by injuries, causing the end result to be 599 yards over 31 games. The talent is undeniable but the short-term results have been disappointing and his long-term future is always going to be embroidered with more question marks than the Riddler’s suit.
