Seahawks' Late-Round Draft Magic: Unsung Heroes

0:00On April 8th, Seahawks fans, let's talk late-round draft magic. Seattle's built dynasties from overlooked talent, grabbing three legion of boom stars in the fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds. Their first Super Bowl MVP, linebacker Malcolm Smith, came off the board in the seventh round. Even that lone offensive touchdown in their second Super Bowl win, scored by a fourth round tied in AJ Barner. Drafts used to stretch way longer, like 17 rounds back in the team's first year. But we're keeping him modern, late-round, means fourth round, or later. That rules out third round gems like Russell Wilson and Tyler Lockin. Undrafted free agents such as Doug Baldwin. They don't qualify here. These picks don't always need Hall of Fame resumes to throw. Take seventh round running back Chris Carson. He turned into a bee starter before injuries sidelineed him, pure joy to watch pound the rock. Fans lit up over these underdogs turning into everyday heroes. Punters count too, like fifth-rounder Michael Dixon, who's been a weapon-flipping field position.
