Seattle Seahawks Early Draft Predictions
Cornerbacks
This year’s crop of cornerbacks may not be very good to choose from. At least in regards to where the Seattle Seahawks are picking and who might be available. If the Seahawks decide to go away from the trenches with their first pick the likely choice is a cornerback.
The Seattle Seahawks will need a little bit of help but if Mississippi State’s Martin Emerson (PFF #6/big board #33) can fall to Seattle he’s the guy they should consider taking. If he’s off the table, and most likely will be, then Andrew Booth Jr. (PFF #7/big board #34) of Clemson or local boy Kyler Gordon (PFF #7/big board #46) of Washington should be the next guys for consideration. Personally, of this group Booth is the one that Seattle should avoid drafting.
Subsequently, if the Seattle Seahawks don’t use their first pick on a cornerback and elect to target the trenches then their second pick could be where they draft a cornerback. The options here are Marcus Jones (PFF #9/big board 68) of Houston, Derrion Kendrick (PFF #10/ big board 72) of Georgia, or Storm Duck (PFF #11/big board #82) of UNC.
Personally, Seattle shouldn’t go Duck hunting (get it) here. He might end up being a really good player at the NFL level. However, typically no one gets healthier as they get older and Duck has been getting hurt the last two years. Either Jones or Kendrick would be good picks here.
Having size & length and doing something with that size & length are two very different things. Love how Martin Emerson uses his stature to stack & shed the block and make a physical tackle.
