Jonathan Newsome from Ball ST. is a under the radar prospect I could see Seattle making a move on in the middle rounds. Newsome is 6'3 247 lbs with 33' inch arms and runs a 4.73 40. Newsome had 11 TFL and 8 sacks last season. Seattle needs to add cheap edge rushers to develop and Newsome could do just that below is the scouting report for Newsome at NFL.com
Newsome NFL.com scouting report:
strengths:Very good edge burst. Has a long second step and attacks the edges with speed and leverage. Flattens down the line -- good lateral pursuit. Can get depth in coverage and spot drop. Flashes explosive striking ability as a tackler
weaknesses:Strength-deficient and gets hammered in the box. Thin-legged and narrow-based. Too light to set the edge. Limited cover skills -- is tight in the hips and not natural moving in reverse or coming out of breaks. Immature early in college career.
A 4-3 open-side speed rusher ideally suited for an elephant end or 3-4 Jack linebacker role. Is at his best rushing the passer and has shown improved maturity since departing Ohio State before the 2011 season.
