Seattle Seahawks: 2022 Dueling Mock Drafts 4.0 – 7 Rounds
Clint Pick #145 – OT Rasheed Walker, Penn State
The fifth round begins with pick 145, and the Seahawks select Rasheed Walker, OT from Penn State. Walker is 6’5″ and
313 pounds, with good power and the ability to withstand bull rushing, and
His ability to get to the second level is impressive. He projects to be a right tackle in the NFL. With Seattle already choosing Faalele earlier in this draft, they can form a bookend pair of tackles for the foreseeable future.
Clint Pick #152 – RB Pierre Strong Jr., South Dakota State
Also, in the fifth round, the Seahawks select Pierre Strong Jr., a running back from South Dakota State. Stong is 5’11” 207-pounds and ran a 4.37 40 time. Strong Jr led the FCS in rushing in 2021 with 1,686 yards and finished second in rushing TDs with 18.
This kid is a big play waiting to happen, with ten career touchdowns of over 50 yards. Pairing him with Rashaad Penny and hopefully a healthy Chris Carson, the Seahawks have some firepower at running back. I can see some long runs from scrimmage in their future.

Ed Pick #145 CB Marcus Jones – Houston
Cornerback Marcus Jones is proof that big things come in small packages. Jones is only 5’8” but makes up for his lack of height with blazing speed and athleticism. His ball instincts are top tier, and despite his size, Jones isn’t afraid to hit the ball carrier.
Jones is also the most explosive kick/punt returner in the draft. Think Devin Hester 2.0. In four mock drafts, I’ve picked Jones every time. Watch his highlights below.
Ed Trade 3
I know we could only make two trades, but this one was a very player-centric deal with Cleveland. The price on Baker Mayfield was low enough to gamble on him. Additionally, the teams exchanged disappointments. Cornerback Greedy Williams comes to Seattle in exchange for defensive lineman L.J. Collier.
As far as draft picks go, the Browns get number 153, a 2023 fifth round pick, and 2024 fourth round pick. Coming back to Seattle is pick 202 and a conditional 2024 seventh round pick (can move to a sixth if Mayfield doesn’t resign with the Seahawks).
