Seattle Seahawks 2021 mock draft: Round 4, Pick 124
The Seattle Seahawks were able to get by with their secondary this past season, but they have multiple pieces that could leave in free agency, including Quinton Dunbar and Damarious Randall. To make up for the potential of losing them, as well as upgrading the position, they will need to explore drafting at least one player for their secondary.
To do that, they might explore a school that they’ve drafted from before for secondary recently, UCF. Playing his freshman season at Alabama, Aaron Robinson transferred to UCF following the 2016 season and has spent the last three years with the Golden Knights.
While he only has one interception in his collegiate career, he put up two strong seasons in 2019 and 2020, showing consistency in his game.
Over 12 games in 2019 he completed 49 tackles for the UCF defense while also registering nine passes defended and one forced fumble. As for 2020, he played in nine games and was able to log 41 tackles, six passes defended, another forced fumble and a fumble recovered.
His stats don’t jump off the page, but the consistency is the draw here. In the fourth round, that’s a big plus for any player, especially a defensive back.
