That is my final Seattle Seahawks mock draft of the season. All of the necessary occasions have already handed. Free company has additionally come and gone, groups have strengthened and a few gaps stay open. The concept is to fill them in the course of the draft, in Seattle’s case, the OL is the principle focus, or a minimum of it needs to be.
PS: I used the PFF Simulator, so it was primarily based on the Board created by them.
Let’s go!
Ought to I Keep or Ought to I Go?
There’ll at all times be three choices for the workforce: transfer up, transfer down or keep in its unique place. Seattle has by no means moved up within the first spherical underneath John Schneider. This 12 months could possibly be the possibility to interrupt that report. Seattle is in 18th, so it’s nearer to reaching the highest 10 than in different years.
You should have learn/heard a number of instances that this 12 months’s class isn’t essentially the most gifted. Due to this fact, I believe there will probably be trades within the prime 10 after which issues ought to settle down till the tip of the primary spherical. Maybe a goal for Seattle could be a commerce with Chicago. Doable targets could be the 2 OLs, Will Campbell and Armand Membou or perhaps Tyler Warren, TE.
After that, there will probably be extra groups involved in shifting down than shifting up. It was reported that the Chiefs would have an interest, however with the low demand the values shouldn’t be good and due to this fact, I consider Seattle will keep at 18 and go along with one of the best participant accessible, much like what it did within the final Drafts and this modification in technique tremendously improved our outcomes.

Seattle Seahawks mock draft picks
R1.18 – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona;
R2.50 – Shavon Revel, CB, ECU; R2.52 – Jonah Savaiinaea, OG, Arizona;
R3.82 – Jared Wilson, C, Georgia;
R3.92 – Ty Robinson, DL, Nebraska;
R4.137 – Thomas Fidone II, TE, Nebraska;
R5.172 – Jalen Travis, OT, Iowa State;
R5.175 – Brashard Smith, RB, SMU;
R7.223 – Kain Medrano, LB, UCLA;
R7.234 – Kitan Crawford, S, Nevada;
R1.18 – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona;
I believe solely two OLs could be definitely worth the 18 (Will Campbell and Armand Membou), however each needs to be within the prime 10. Subsequent on the checklist could be Gray Zabel and Josh Simmons, however I’ve them at 32 and 34 on my board, which might be a attain. I had already defined in one other article that the distinction between Zabel and names listed within the second spherical for OL wouldn’t be as massive as in different positions.
Right here I’d go along with BPA. The candidates could be Malaki Starks, S from Georgia, Jihaad Campbell, LB from Alabama and T-Mac, WR from Arizona. On this simulation the one one who was accessible was the receiver and I went with him. I do know there could also be reservations concerning the funding in Cooper Kupp (and his contract that’s not as simple to get out of as we anticipated) and the truth that Klint Kubiak’s offense runs greater than it passes the ball.
He is a wonderful weapon. Neglect the narrative of his ultimate velocity. Good coaches put their gamers in the very best place. Why would I need him on vertical routes if McMillan wins in different methods? He could be a direct improve for the bottom digs within the new OC’s scheme.
R2.50 – Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina;
Revel wants to enhance his footwork and switch deflected passes into interceptions. Nevertheless, if he have been wholesome, he would positively be a top-20 participant. The Seahawks introduced him in for a go to and should have evaluated his standing. If they’re wholesome, this could possibly be a terrific steal.
He has the expertise to be a direct starter instead of Josh Jobe and Nehemiah Pritchett. He would increase the extent of our secondary and permit Devon Witherspoon to be moved round all through the formation. As well as, his arrival would convey slightly extra peace of thoughts concerning the renewal of Riq Woolen, who’s going into the ultimate 12 months of his contract.
R2.52 – Jonah Savaiinaea, OG, Arizona;
Lastly, the Seahawks’ first OL. I noticed Savaiinaea on many boards as a third-rounder, however I disagree with that evaluation. He’s an OT, however he has had video games as an OG and that’s the place his method suits greatest. He has the athleticism and lateral mobility for the zone scheme and the power for the hole scheme.
His hand positioning as a guard is best than as an OT. He additionally has the flexibility to be an OT in an emergency. He has expertise as an RT and LT. However, as talked about, each he and NFL groups have considered him as an OG.
R3.82 – Jared Wilson, C, Georgia;
The perfect heart within the class. His athletic checks match Erik McCoy, who shined in Kubiak’s offense. We’ve talked a couple of instances concerning the significance of the place in his scheme. There could also be different guys who could make the transition to heart and play higher than Wilson, however naturally, he needs to be one of the best.
It might be an fascinating matchup in coaching camp with Olu Oluwatimi, who got here out of faculty with quite a lot of expertise, towards Wilson, who has just one season as a starter underneath his belt. I confess that I nonetheless don’t perceive the Seahawks’ plans for heart, however Wilson and his athletic potential are wager.
R3.92 – Ty Robinson, DL, Nebraska;
Tony Pauline reported that the Seahawks are very involved in him. I used to be very completely happy once I learn that. The issue is that he talked about Seattle taking him with certainly one of their second-round picks. That’s fairly excessive for him. He’s a terrific participant, a fighter within the trenches, and a very good participant to have within the group.
He has a really comparable profile to Roy Robertson-Harris, who was in Seattle final 12 months. He’s versatile and might play as a 0-tech or EDGE. He is superb towards the run recreation and has improved loads as a move rusher within the final 12 months, the place his manufacturing exploded.
R4,137 – Thomas Fidone II, TE, Nebraska;
The Seahawks might come out of the Draft with as much as two TEs, relying on how the workforce tasks Noah Fant. In the event that they don’t go along with the primary and second spherical choices (Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland, Elijah Arroyo, Mason Taylor and Harold Fannin) they may go after a blocking TE. Fidone is the best choice on this regard. Jackson Hawes is a greater blocker, however Fidone has the flexibility to provide within the passing recreation as properly.
He could be the workforce’s TE3 with the potential to attain extra within the coming years.
R5,172 – Jalen Travis, OT, Iowa State;
Jalen Travis is the everyday fifth spherical choose. An unbelievable athletic potential, however nonetheless wants refinement. The Seahawks have an skilled OL coach who can work with Travis to assist him attain his full potential. He could be backup and would bolster the OT group that features Mike Jerrell and Josh Jones.
R5,175 – Brashard Smith, RB, SMU;
There have been rumors that the Seahawks might commerce Zach Charbonnet or Ken Walker. Except that commerce occurs, the Seahawks could need to wait to select their RB. Smith is one of the best participant accessible proper now and his receiving capability is an enormous plus. He moved from WR to RB and was the focus of SMU’s offense that went deep this season. He’s a worthwhile funding within the fifth spherical.
R7,223 – Kain Medrano, LB, UCLA;
For those who’ve learn his draft report, I believe he’s a steal. He was accessible at that time and could be part of the group, assist out on the STs whereas additionally getting an opportunity to point out his capability to sort out. His athleticism and protection expertise are evident on each snap along with his WR background.
R7.234 – Kitan Crawford, S, Nevada;
With Rayshawn Jenkins out, the Seahawks want reinforcements. No FA names are massive names, and Coby Bryant is anticipated to be the starter within the ultimate 12 months of his contract. Crawford has quite a lot of particular groups expertise and ball expertise that make him weapon on the place. The large drawback is that he spent years on the sidelines in Texas earlier than transferring to get enjoying time in Nevada.
