Seattle Seahawks 2022 mock draft compilation 2.0
Round 2, 40th, and 41st overall
We audited 20 mock drafts that went into the second round. Since the Seattle Seahawks go back-to-back here, 40 different suggestions were made.
So much can happen between pick 9 and 40, making it hard to be accurate. Different mock drafters may have great sources, but every team evaluates talent differently.
There is a myriad of variables in play that make graft predictions very difficult. Consequently, it’s no surprise that 22 different players were selected.
If at first you don’t get a QB…
Thirteen more mock drafters picked a quarterback in round two. Not only that but two of them led the selections. Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback Desmond Ridder had the most with seven. Corral came up five more times.
Cincinnati was the surprise team of the college football season, and Ridder was their unquestioned leader. 2021 was the culmination of a fantastic run for the two-time All-American Conference Offensive Player of the Year.
In four seasons with him running the offense, Cincinnati went 44-7. He threw for 87 touchdowns and ran for 29 more. What’s concerning is that he completed only 62 percent of his passes. With no offense to the AAC, it’s not a Power-5 Conference.

Out of the three quarterbacks mentioned so far, Corral looks like the best fit for what the Seattle Seahawks want to do on offense. The former Ole Miss signal-caller completed 67.3 percent of his passes for 8,287 yards with 57 touchdowns and only 23 interceptions. He also ran for 1,338 yards and 18 more TDs.
Watching film on him, Corral does some of his best work scrambling out of the pocket and improvising. That sort of sounds familiar to Seahawks fans.
As a passer, Corral is an aggressive trigger man who can rip a defense apart. He has a strong arm and is capable of going vertical to challenge defenses downfield. Corral is able to spin the ball to fire fastballs into tight windows in the short to intermediate part of the field. – Charlie Campbell, Walter Football.
The rest
Following the passer duo was Arnold Ebiketie, edge, Penn State, and Kenyon Green, guard, Texas A&M. Dallas is eyeing Green with pick 24, so he may not make it to the Seahawks in Round 2.
