Seattle Seahawks complete 7-round 2020 NFL mock draft
By Andrew Kim
Round 4
RB. Boston College. A.J. Dillon. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 36. 144. player
Injuries to the running back position are something that the Seahawks are used but they need to be more prepared. Both Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny have all dealt with multiple injuries and even though they drafted Travis Homer late in the draft last year, Seattle is missing a big bruising back. Homer would complement that type of ball carrier with his speed and pass-catching ability.
If you could make a Marshawn Lynch-like clone but bigger, A.J. Dillon has the build for it. At 6-foot, 247 pounds, the junior can be that rotational power back that can hammer it in the red zone or short distance situations. At Boston College, he had for over 1,000 yards each year as the starter and had double-digit touchdowns as well. This is a perfect fit for Dillon and he fits the mold for what they are missing in their backfield with their current depth at that position.
Round 6
214. player. Pick Analysis. CB. Georgia Southern. Scouting Report. Kindle Vildor. 36
If Seattle is settled at boundary cornerback, they could address the nickel position late in the draft. Both Shaquill Griffin and Dunbar are slated as the starting outside cornerbacks. They could use more depth and competition at nickel cornerback; as Ugochukwu Amadi, who they drafted last year, is currently the only cornerback that fits that position. Amadi has safety versatility and can move around in their defense.

The Seahawks are known to target and develop late-round cornerbacks and Kindle Vildor could be that type of player, coming from a small school like Georgia Southern. The 5-foot-19, 191-pound senior has pretty long arms for his size (32 1/4″) and can play in a zone scheme like Seattle. As a starter, Vildor had nine career interceptions and has the speed to cover slot receivers in man coverage as well.
