Episode Details

Joe Douglas passed on Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who became a first-team All-Pro for the Seahawks, in favor of Will McDonald. Other GMs also missed out on Smith-Njigba. Douglas was criticized, but his decision was based on concerns about Smith-Njigbas hamstring injury and slow forty-yard dash time. However, Smith-Njigbas elite short shuttle and three-cone drills were overlooked. Seahawks GM John Schneider saw past the hype and made the right pick, earning GM of the year. This story highlights the importance of scouting real skills over stopwatch hype.
