Seattle Seahawks: Dueling Mock Drafts 3.0 – All 7 Rounds

Seattle Seahawks draft.

Second Round – 41st overall pick

Ed – CB Kyler Gordon

An outstanding athlete, Kyler Gordon is just now developing his immense potential. Not only does he have good size at 5′ 11 1/2” and a 75” wingspan, but his natural abilities are outstanding. Gordon runs a 4.5 with an almost 40 inch vertical.

Gordon has good footwork and body control, probably due to his background in dance and martial arts. Additionally, he’s not afraid to play his man physically or come up to the line and make a big hit on a running back.

For all the good, there is some tradeoff. Gordon still has work to do to become a reliable CB1 in the league. He needs to continue building on the mental aspects of the game, which will help him become more instinctual in coverage.

John and Pete wanted to take another tackle here, but they just selected Johnson, and time was running out to get a cornerback. They decided on Gordon but very narrowly over Auburn’s Roger McCreary.

Clint – QB Desmond Ridder, Cincinnati

Going back-to-back, the Seattle Seahawks select Cincinnati quarterback and two-time All-American Conference Offensive Player of the Year, Desmond Ridder. It’s an important pick because it means the team’s brain trust has chosen the next man to lead their offense.

A four-year starter, Ridder led the Bearcats to the College Football Playoff in 2021. The dual-threat quarterback has a nice arm and great leadership intangibles. Flashing 4.5 speed, he shows a good ability to get out of trouble if needed and make plays outside the pocket.
