2020 NFL Draft: Grading the Seattle Seahawks draft class

Round 4: Pick 133

In a crowded tight end group, Seattle decided to add two in this draft. However, both are known as receiver types that could be lined up out wide or in the slot. As a red zone mismatch, I can see why a team would draft Colby Parkinson in this range. The Stanford junior stands out in the group with his size at 6-foot-7, 252 pounds. Wilson gets another target to throw to near the goal line but I would not expect much out of the rookie tight ends right away.

I am not sure you would have to address this position twice, as the Seahawks signed Greg Olsen and still have a trio of tight ends that were on the roster last year. Will Dissly, Jacob Hollister, and Luke Willson will all compete with Olsen and the pair of rookies they drafted. There were more immediate needs and prospects I would have gone instead but I thought adding depth at this position was more of a luxury than a necessity.

Round 4: Pick 144 (Compensatory)

Seattle adds another running back that offers some versatility out of the backfield. Deejay Dallas joins former Hurricane and teammate Travis Homer to make up their depth, as Carson and Penny are the main starters. At 5-foo-10, 217 pounds, the junior out of Miami (FL) was a former receiver convert, so he offers some pass-catching ability. Dallas has good enough contact balance and acceleration to hit the holes but I would envision his main impact on the team would be on special teams as a returner.
