The Seahawks were right to trade back last year, but Germain Ifedi may have been the wrong pick

The Seahawks haven’t used their original first round pick since selecting James Carpenter in 2011. Fans know what Carpenter is and what he was supposed to be. The 25th overall pick, Carpenter was a tackle out of Alabama who ended up becoming a guard in Seattle. He was an okay player for the Seahawks (who missed considerable time with injuries) and he continues to be an okay player for the Jets.

That seems to be a potential path for second-year lineman Germain Ifedi, but at least John Schneider also got a third round pick with him.
