This year the Seattle Seahawks pick early in the first round and twice more in the second. The selections put them in a position to kick-start their rebuild. 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 44 different mock drafts that went as far as the second round for this issue. Sources include ESPN, Pro Football Focus, CBS Sports, NFLcom, Walter Football, The Athletic, and more.
As a result of trading quarterback Russell Wilson to Denver, the Seattle Seahawks pick early in Round 1 with pick number nine. Seattle is back on the clock for Day 2 when they make the 40th and 41st overall selection in the second round and 72nd in Round 3.
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 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.
In all, Seattle has eight picks this year. For the Seahawks to climb back in the NFC West Division title picture, it starts with this draft. Schneider and Head Coach Pete Carroll need to choose wisely.
