Second Round, Pick 40 overall
Clint – Matt Corral, QB, Mississippi
In the second round of the draft, the Seattle Seahawks now own two picks. With the 40th overall pick, Seattle selects their next quarterback, Matt Corral from the University of Mississippi.
How this man was still on the board at pick 40, I don’t know. But the Seahawks are fortunate they fell to them this late in the draft. They have to snag him now.
Corral is an excellent leader in the huddle and has pinpoint accuracy in the short and medium ranges. He may not have prototypical size at 6’1″, 205-pounds, but has good mobility. Corral can scramble out of the pocket and keep his eyes up or take off running if need be. Sounds familiar.
Ed – Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington
If Trent McDuffie were 6’1′ instead of 5’11”-ish, he’d probably be a top 15 pick. Teams that use that as an excuse to skip him in the second round will regret it. Because what McDuffie lacks in height, he makes up for it in several different ways.
He is lightning fast with a 4.4-second 40-yard dash. There aren’t many receivers that can run past him. Additionally, McDuffie is an elite athlete. His outstanding vertical leap means he can get up high to contest passes at the apex. Those are the building blocks of a shutdown cornerback.
The Seattle Seahawks coaches and scouts have to be familiar with McDuffie as he played his college ball at Washington. If he’s still available at 40, Seattle has to take him.
Three-year starter whose average size is overshadowed by skillful ruggedness, allowing him to contest throws from a variety of coverages. He’s an elite competitor with a route-hugging mentality fueled by body control, foot agility, aggression and burst. He’s a pesky press-man defender with the tools to excel in zone. He’s willing to fly downhill and hit anybody near the football. – Lance Zierlein, NFL.com.
