Green Bay Packers Win
Seattle traded down from #18 in 2018, passing the Jaire Alexander slot and later selecting RB Rashaad Penny at #27. Penny showed explosive ability when healthy, but injuries prevented him from becoming the consistent feature back Seattle needed. Green Bay landed Alexander, a premier cornerback, which makes the opportunity cost painful. Jacob Martin added some value from the later picks, but not enough to offset passing on an elite defensive back for an injury-limited running back.
