Seahawks hope Darrell Taylor joins list of trade-up success stories

A No. 1 wide receiver in Tyler Lockett and a promising No. 2 in DK Metcalf.

A pair of starting defensive tackles in Jarran Reed and Quinton Jefferson.

An All-Pro punter in Michael Dickson.

What those five have in common: They were all players the Seattle Seahawks -- a team known for trading back in the draft -- moved up to select.

They need that trend of trade-up success to continue with defensive end Darrell Taylor. Just consider how badly they could use a strong rookie season from their second-round pick to improve what was one of the NFL's least effective pass rushes in 2019, especially now that the best chance of a reunion with Jadeveon Clowney has come and gone.
