What would it take to get a very good NFL player? That depends on the position, right? If someone is an elite wide receiver, a first-round draft choice makes sense. The good part is that the Seattle Seahawks did not have to give up a high-round draft pick for receiver Rashid Shaheed.
The issue is that Shaheed is not that good. He went undrafted out of Weber State in 2022, was eventually signed by the New Orleans Saints, and has since been, well...meh. He doesn't stay, had no more than 46 catches in any season in his first three years, and saved his best for this season.
