Seattle Seahawks 2021 mock draft compilation – 2.0

Round 4, 120th overall
It was hard enough to find mock drafts that went through two rounds. Going further than that is almost impossible this far from draft day. Still, our research department found seven mock drafts that do.
When teams get to Day 3 of the draft, they are usually looking to fill holes or select players they think will develop into useful parts. There are certainly some quality developmental and depth players the Seattle Seahawks can get at this point.
Last time out running back, Demetric Felton from UCLA was the clear favorite. Now that the Seahawks re-signed Chris Carson, none of the mock drafts have Seattle taking a running back. In this set of mocks, there are some interesting prospects. Two that stand out are linebacker Pete Werner from Penn State and Texas A&M quarterback Kellen Mond.
Werner probably gets picked before 120. On the other hand, Mond has a good shot to be available and would do well learning behind Russell Wilson. A great athlete with a rocket arm, Mond put up big numbers for the Aggies. A four-year starter, he threw 71 touchdown passes to 27 picks.
There are reasons why Monds is a Day 3 pick. Among the negatives, he tends to stare down his receivers and slow in his progressions. Also, Monds can get caught holding the ball too long. With faster pass rushers in the NFL, it’s a habit he’ll have to break.
“From the perspective of physical skills, Mond has the tools to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. He is tall enough and has a strong arm capable of making all the throws required. To go along with arm talent, Mond is a good athlete who has running ability to avoid pressure and can create some positive plays for his offense using his feet.
He is a threat in short-yardage situations and is a dual-threat quarterback who can hurt defenses on read-option plays. However, Mond seems to run only when all other options are exhausted, and he is not a dynamic or aggressive runner like a Lamar Jackson or a Deshaun Watson.” – Charlie Campbell, Walter Football.
Others predicted for the Seattle Seahawks in Round 4 are Alaric Johnson, OT, – Iowa; David Moore, G, Grambling State; Amari Rodgers, WR, Clemson; Sage Surratt, WR, Wake Forest; and Israel Mukuamu, CB, South Carolina.
