2019 NFL Mock Draft: Oakland Raiders Do the Unthinkable
By Erik Lambert
14. Seattle Seahawks
Notre Dame. Jerry Tillery . 14. player. 36. . DT
The Seattle Seahawks may have been identified by their secondary, but the defensive greatness they enjoyed didn’t happen without a loaded defensive line. A unit that has taken some considerable hits lately. In the span of just a few months, they lost Cliff Avril and Sheldon Richardson while also trading Michael Bennett.
That’s a lot of frontline talent gone and it needs replacing. Jerry Tillery is another piece of a loaded class ready and able to help. He showed last year just how good he could be at Notre Dame, showing up as a big pass rusher and also spending lots of time in the backfield against the run. He’s got ideal size, good strength, and quickness.
