Seattle Seahawks: Dueling Mock Drafts 2.0

Clint Trade 1
The Seattle Seahawks own picks 40 and 41. With pick 40, we have our first trade of the draft for Schneider. Miami traded pick 50 and a 2023 third round pick for the right to move up ten spots. Fans won’t like this deal at first, but moving down ten spots for a future third isn’t too bad.
Pick #41 – Edge David Ojabo – Michigan
The Hawks are back on the clock with pick 41. They select defensive end David Ojabo from Michigan. A raw talent due to picking up football at age 16, Ojabo has good size at 6’4″ 250-pounds with a 4.55 40 time. The upside here is huge.
Ojabo is only on the board this late because he suffered a torn Achilles at Michigan’s Pro Day last week. Much like Darrell Taylor two years ago, Seattle is drafting for potential and the future as his rookie season is in question now.
Ed Trade 2
34 picks into the draft, and there is a player Schneider wants badly and won’t last much longer. He needs a cornerback, and three are already off the board. John has the Jets on speed dial (stop groaning), and trades picks 41 and 45 (just acquired from Baltimore) to Gang Green for numbers 35 and 69.
Pick #35 – CB Kaiir Elam – Florida
Kaiir Elam has the tools in his box, size (6’2” 197-pounds), speed (4.38 40-yard dash), and physicality to be a top cornerback. He likes to play his man tight but is also good at sitting back in zone coverage. A top athlete, Elam can get up high to challenge receivers for 50/50 balls.
An injury last season caused him to miss several games and may have held back his development a little bit. The big thing Elam needs to work on is confidence. He can get beat which causes him to be handsy while covering his assignment.
KAIIR ELAM. He only allowed 10 catches on 23 targets while picking off three passes. Gonna be fun with him in the secondary.
