Seahawks would've had to trade up to take Vander Esch. I do like Cody Barton and I'm biased being a UW fan but I also like Ben Burr-Kirven. Obviously I'd prefer Vander Esch to both of those guys, but it is what it is.
The fumbling issue I'm not concerned about. He only had 3 fumbles last year and IMO it's a fixable problem and something that I don't think will continue.
I can understand your preference to use a first round pick on a different position, but Carson was coming off of a serious injury and hadn't really proven himself completely prior to the injury. At this point though I am happy to have Penny due to the workload they give Carson and his injury history.
You are wrong about vander esch, we had the 18th pick and traded down. He was taken 19th. Huge mistake that one was.
