The Seahawks shocked a lot of people by passing on Jalen Carter or Tyree Wilson, either of which could have immediately reinforced their light front seven. But I have no issue with this pick, because Witherspoon is exactly the kind of cornerback Pete Carroll loves — smart, aggressive, and a shutdown guy from start to finish. With Witherspoon and Tariq Woolen, the Seahawks have a potential cornerback duo that might be better than any duo they had in the Legion of Boom days, given that Richard Sherman never had a true No. 1 bookend.
