Seattle Seahawks 2022 mock draft compilation 1.0
Even without a first-round pick in 2022, the Seattle Seahawks are in a position to add good talent. These are the players headed to Seattle as chosen in mock drafts.
Now through the NFL draft on April 28, Pacific Northwest Sports will compile data from mock drafts across the internet. Our readers won’t have to search all over the web to find out who the Seattle Seahawks will select.
These compilation mocks run semi-monthly to take advantage of trends, prospect news, and team needs. Our sources may change from edition to edition, but they are reliable. We used 16 different mock drafts that went as far as the second round for this issue. Sources include ESPN, Pro Football Focus, NFLcom, Walter Football, The Athletic, and more.
This is the second straight year that the Seattle Seahawks don’t have a pick in Round 1. Seattle doesn’t get on the clock until Day 2, when they make the 41st overall selection. Last year they took receiver Dee Eskridge 56th overall in the second round. When he wasn’t out with an injury, Eskridge showed flashes of a bright future.
In 2020, General Manager John Schneider traded away the team’s first round pick to the New York Jets as part of the package to acquire safety Jamal Adams. When he was healthy, Adams was well worth it. Another part of that trade brings Seattle an extra fourth round pick this year (107th overall). The Seahawks also sent their sixth round pick to Jacksonville for cornerback Sidney Jones.
After those trades, Seattle has six draft picks this year. To climb back in the NFC West Division-title picture, there isn’t much room for error. Schneider and Head Coach Pete Carroll need to choose wisely.
The pick is in ‼
