Seahawks' missed trade for Deebo Samuel raises questions about roster moves

NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that the Seattle Seahawks had a deal to trade up in the 2019 draft to select receiver Deebo Samuel. However, the Raiders traded the pick to the Jaguars instead, who chose a different player. Schefter suggests that if the Seahawks had acquired Samuel, they might not have drafted DK Metcalf later. The report raises questions about the Seahawks' current roster needs, especially with Tyler Lockett already on the team. The timing of this information, coinciding with a Seahawks-49ers game, hints at potential future moves involving Samuel and Metcalf. The main takeaway is the failed trade from five years ago, with implications for upcoming player transactions.
