If Seattle had instead drafted someone like running back Dalvin Cook, taken six picks after McDowell (by the Minnesota Vikings), not only would Seattle have not wasted their top pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, they wouldn’t have had to use a first round pick in the ensuing draft to take another player to address the running back position (Rashad Penny).

As the starting running back of the Vikings, Cook finished with 1,135 yards rushing (7th in the NFL) and 13 rushing touchdowns (3rd in the NFL) in 2019, and was a darkhorse MVP candidate for much of the season.
