Seattle Seahawks: Dueling Mock Drafts 2.0
Clint Trade 2
With pick 50 obtained in the previous deal with Miami, the Seattle Seahawks make yet another trade down. As the 12’s moan and groan, the trade brings back picks 60 and 91 from the Tampa Bay Bucs. Seattle also sent their 7th round pick (229) to the Bucs.
Trader John wants to add more top 100 players. Fans don’t like the trade back even though they know it’s coming every year.
Clint Pick #60 – CB Tariq Woolen – Texas-San Antonio
At pick 60, the Seattle Seahawks select another electrifying player, cornerback Tariq Woolen from The University of Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners.
Woolen is an athletic monster standing 6’4″ 205-pounds with a 4.26 40 time. With that kind of speed, he put the “Meep, Meep” in Roadrunners.
Woolen converted to corner from receiver just two years ago, so he is a bit new to the position. But he has the measurables that Pete Carroll loves in his corners, like height, arm length, and speed.
Another advantage Woolen has experience at wide receiver. After playing WR for so many years, he can still think like one. The Seahawks coach can’t wait to get started coaching his newest pupil.

That's FAST for a guy his size. 😳

Ed Pick #40 – Edge David Ojabo – Michigan
Even though he played across Michigan’s defensive line from likely number one overall pick Aidan Hutchinson, Ojabo still had 11 sacks last year. That was more than enough to him a Second-Team All-American.
I agree with Clint on this pick. Talk about an accident that cost someone millions of dollars; Ojabo is the new poster boy. After he heals, Ojabo is a work in progress. He’s still a raw prospect with a high ceiling.
It may take a year of game action under his belt to become a starter. But the tools are there. Once Ojabo gets it all down, he’ll be an NFL player for a long time.
I was gutted to see David Ojabo (ED 55) get injured at his pro day, a top 20 player on my board whose draft stock will definitely be affected
So let’s take a look at why he was so high on my board, and why every team should still draft him early pic.twitter.com/XpNp4gRP6b
