Seattle Seahawks: 2022 Draft, what good, bad, and great looks like
Day 3
There are several players and several different positions that can develop into starters this year. Here are some players to watch out for.
4th round
Cade Mays, OL – Tennessee
He’s the Swiss Army knife of lineman starting at four different positions for the Vols. Cole Mays‘s competency across the O-line makes him valuable in a utility role to begin his career. But that shouldn’t limit his opportunities to earn a starting spot.
Cam Taylor-Britt, CB – Nebraska
An all-or-nothing competitor at cornerback. Taylor-Britt has the physical tools to play in the NFL and can make highlight-reel plays but is often held back by his inconsistency.
4th/5th Rounds
JoJo Domann, LB/S – Nebraska
JoJo Domann is a linebacker who is better at defending the pass than playing a traditional role. He will be good at covering tight ends and running backs, but do they want a situational linebacker like him when they have others who can play the “big nickel” position.
Marcus Jones, CB – Houston
Cornerback Marcus Jones is living proof that big things come in small packages. He makes up for his 5’8” height with blazing speed and athleticism. His ball instincts are top tier, and despite his size, Jones isn’t afraid to make contact.
Jones is also the most explosive kick/punt returner in the draft. Think Devin Hester 2.0.
Alec Lindstrom, C – Boston College
There is an outside chance that Alec Lindstrom will last to the fifth round. Even if he is, Seattle might go with the other players listed. Lindstrom would play behind Austin Blythe at center this season before getting his shot in 2023.

7th Round
Zachary Carter, DL – Florida
Zachary Carter is a versatile defensive lineman who the Seahawks can line up at any spot on the line. He is adept at causing havoc with a strong push from the middle. If Carter is gone, there are several talented running backs in the draft who will be available when the Seahawks pick in the seventh round. In order of preference, they should select Ty Chandler (North Carolina), Max Borghi (Washington State), CJ Verdell (Oregon), and Isaiah Pacheco (Rutgers).
The Seattle Seahawks draft can go in so many different directions. One thing these scenarios don’t take into consideration is trades. They will happen.
