Seattle Seahawks Early Draft Predictions
The Seattle Seahawks have several holes on their roster that need to be fixed. They have limited draft capital. However, they do have some cap space to help fix the problems as well.
The Seattle Seahawks have many holes on their roster. Unfortunately, they don’t have a lot of draft picks to make it happen. That doesn’t mean they can’t fix the problems. It just means it might be more difficult.
So, exactly what are the Seattle Seahawks needs? The quick and easy answer is the offensive line, offensive line, and offensive line. However, the offensive line is an area of need. As is the pass rush/edge rusher and also cornerbacks.
Fortunately, this draft comes with a deep class in both the offensive lineman and edge rushers. The Seattle Seahawks should be able to land a player that can fill the hole. However, it just may take some time for them to be up to NFL standards. With that being said I predict the Seahawks look to address their edge rusher issue with their first pick.
Edge Rusher
The player with the best odds to be an immediate impact player for the Seattle Seahawks is Jermaine Johnson (PFF#8/big board #43) out of Florida State. Some might say Cameron Thomas (PFF #9/big board #44) out of San Diego State is better. For me, I worry a little bit about the competition he faced in college.
More will be determined at the combine. Two other names to keep an eye on are Travon Walker (PFF #10/big board #45), Georgia, and Myjai Sanders (PFF #11/big board #48), Cincinnati. These two might take a little more time to develop and be impactful for the Seahawks.
If they take one of those guys with their first pick there are a couple of intriguing names with their second pick. Zach Harrison (PFF #13/big board #73) from Ohio State and Alex Wright (PFF #14/big board #74) from UAB. Harrison will need to be motivated to give his all on every down. Wright will just need to show that his dominance can translate to some much more challenging competition.
