The news this week that Seahawks rookie defensive end Darrell Taylor is not yet ready to return to practice was another blow for the team's second-round pick in the 2020 draft.
Coach Pete Carroll had held out hope that Taylor might be able to make it back this week following the team's "mini-bye," on the road to eventually seeing game action later this season. Now it remains unclear if or when Taylor may be able to play.
That news came on the heels of Seattle putting seventh-round pick Stephen Sullivan on Injured Reserve with a hip flexor injury, ending his season.
But if there was bad news for those two members of the team's eight-man rookie class, things were looking up for others.
Offensive lineman Damien Lewis further proved his worth by stepping in at center for Thursday's pivotal win over the Arizona Cardinals, while fourth-round pick Colby Parkinson is now ready to take on a greater role with the loss of veteran tight end Greg Olsen.
All of which makes it a good time to review the progress of Seattle's 2020 draft, which like most has some good, some bad, and in general still needs a bit more time before rendering a complete judgement.
