Seattle Seahawks Mock Draft: Full 7-Round Predictions
The Seattle Seahawks were this close to winning back-to-back Super Bowls. While the call to throw the ball on the 1 yard line will be debated for years to come, the Seahawks need to regroup and focus on the upcoming offseason. Even though they made back-to-back Super Bowls, they still have areas on the team that could stand to be improved.
First Round
player. 36. The Seahawks have a dominant running game, but if they were able to add a receiver to stretch the defense vertically, their running game could be even more successful. Devin Smith has the speed and big-play ability that Seattle’s offense currently lacks.. WR. Ohio State. Devin Smith. 31
Second Round
63. player. 36. Kevin Williams was a nice stopgap solution for the Seattle Seahawks, but the team could use an influx of young talent in the middle of their defensive line. Mario Edwards has great physical talent, but never truly put it together at Florida State. The Seahawks have a history of coaching up great athletes into great players, and Edwards could be next on that list.. DT. Florida State. Mario Edwards Jr.
Third Round
36. Luke Wilson has the potential to be a special tight end in the league, but he hasn’t put it together yet. Tight end depth would be nice for the Seahawks and if Wilson doesn’t produce, O’Leary might be a nice solution as Seattle’s starting tight end.. TE. Florida State. Nick O'Leary. 95. player
Fourth Round
127. player. 36. The Super Bowl showed that the Seattle secondary could use some depth, especially if Byron Maxwell takes his talents elsewhere. Eric Rowe is versatile and fits the mold of big, athletic cornerbacks that Seattle (and the rest of the NFL) has coveted in recent years.. CB/S. Utah. Eric Rowe
Fifth Round
Anthony Chickillo. 159. player. 36. The Seahawks could use some defensive end depth; they really struggled to get pressure on Tom Brady after Cliff Avril went down with an injury. Anthony Chickillo could be one of the steals of the draft. He was horribly misused in Miami’s scheme where he was forced to be a two-gap player. At the East-West Shrine Game, he was asked to play his more natural spot of a pass rushing defensive, and he absolutely dominated.. DE. Miami
Sixth Round
No draft pick: Traded to Indianapolis for Marcus Burley
Seventh Round
The Seahawks grab linebacker depth towards the end of the draft. Shirley looked really good early in his career at Washington, but off the field concerns derailed his college career until he ended up playing for UNLV. He has some natural pass rush ability, a skill that teams covet from their linebackers in todays pass-happy NFL.. OLB. UNLV. Josh Shirley. 223. player. 36
