Seattle Seahawks: 2022 Dueling Mock Drafts 4.0 – 7 Rounds
Clint Pick #40 – Edge David Ojabo – Michigan
With pick 40 overall, the Seattle Seahawks get someone to help bring pressure on the quarterback. They grab Michigan defensive end David Ojabo. An Achilles tear incurred during his Pro Day workout caused Ojabo to slide in the draft from a likely top twenty pick to the second round.
Coming back from this kind of injury is difficult and takes time, so he may not be able to play this season. Going forward, taking Ojabo with this pick should pay off, much as it did with selecting Darryl Taylor in 2020. When Ojabo heals, he’ll pair up with Taylor to give opposing teams trouble from both sides of the line.
🚨David Ojabo strip sack🚨
Explosiveness, bend, and proactive length usage all on display here. Ojabo just keeps making plays.

Ed Pick #40 – LB Quay Walker, Georgia
It’s a good year for the University of Georgia in the draft. For example, Quay Walker is a top 40 pick, and he won’t be the first Bulldogs linebacker selected this year, nor the last. Just because he wasn’t first doesn’t mean he’s an afterthought.
As mentioned above, the Seattle Seahawks need a linebacker. Walker works quite nicely. He plays inside which allows Brooks to stay at the WILL spot where the former first rounder excels.
A sure tackler, Walker, is very agile for a 6-4, 240-linebacker. It looks like he swallows up running backs in his big frame when he makes tackles at the line. It’s in the pass game where Walker does his best work. For his size, he’s fast and agile which allows him to cover running backs and tight ends effectively.
Walker is the kind of player who will do well in Seattle’s system.
