Seattle Seahawks 2022 mock draft compilation 1.0
Round 3
It was difficult to find mock drafts that went through two rounds. At this stage in the process, finding mocks that go further is a chore. Fortunately, our research department found 11 mock drafts that go through at least the third round.
Seattle didn’t have a third last year, but it looks like they found a keeper in Round 4 with Tre’ Brown. This year the Seahawks have another second-day pick at 72. They can certainly add someone who can help the team this year and develop into a starter not too far down the road.

No single player came up more than once. Dre Harris from The Draft Network had the Seattle Seahawks selecting Kyler Gordon here. If he’s available, that would be a great choice; however, it would also be a huge risk for Schneider to pass on him in the second and expect he’ll still be available with the 72nd pick. Two additional players that appeared as second round choices earlier came up as third rounders in other mocks. Coincidently, they are both edge rushers, Cameron Thomas from San Diego State and Arnold Ebiketie from Penn State.
USA Today Draftwire (Luke Easterling) came up with an intriguing option, offensive tackle Abe Lucas from Washington State. Lucas has a steady all-around game; he did a great job at WSU protecting the passer, especially without a tight end to help. He’s strong and aggressive enough to make the other guy notice but knows himself well enough to play within his own abilities. At 6’7”, he also has those long arms Pete Carroll loves.
He takes a patient approach with his punch in both the run and pass game while displaying good timing of when to pull the trigger. While he may not jar his opponent as you’d think from a player his size, Lucas does show accurate placement with his punch and locks on well with his massive hands. Once locked on, it’s rare for a defender to get loose of his grasp. – 2022 Sports Illustrated Draft Bible
Other players mock drafts had Seattle selecting the following players: Jalen Pitre, Safety, Baylor; Phidarian Mathis DL, Alabama; Martin Emerson, CB, Mississippi State; Channing Tindall, LB, Georgia; Tyler Smith, OT, Tulsa; Tariq Castro-Fields, CB, Penn State; and Max Mitchell, OT, Louisiana-Lafayette.
WSU OT Abraham Lucas was quietly really solid this week. Not someone I’ve been particularly high on but might have to revisit some of his game tape. Stops the speed rush on the first rep and demonstrates a strong anchor on the second. @LAFBNetwork #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/DYUMVYO6Pp
