The Seattle Seahawks are known to build very well through the draft and signing undrafted free agents, more so than many other NFL teams. This is my first prediction for the Seattle Seahawks 2016 NFL draft.
Round 1: The 26th pick in the NFL draft is traded to the Oakland Raiders in exchange for the 13th pick of the 2nd round, the 12th pick of the 3rd round, the 16th pick of the 4th round and the fourth pick of the 5th round. (Raiders pick Sheldon Day)
Round 2: “With the 44th pick in the NFL Draft the Seattle Seahawks select, Rashard “Hollywood” Higgins. Wide receiver, Colorado State” Higgins is an ideal fit in the Seahawks offense, he is a willing run blocker and a polished route runner which make up for his 4.64 40 yard dash. With long arms and sticky hands he will be a nice weapon for Russell to throw at. NFL.com described him as “Pedestrian” even with his second to third round grade. This guy will fit in just fine with the other “pedestrians”.
Round 2: The 56th pick is traded to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for the seventh pick in the 3rd round, and the sixth and 32nd pick of the 4th round. (Ravens pick Will Fuller)
Round 3: With the 70th pick the Seahawks Select Nick Martin IOL from Notre Dame (younger brother of Zack Martin.) Martin is a guy who will give Patrick Lewis some competition at center and might battle for a guard spot as well, he is an Interior O-lineman only.
Round 3: With pick 75 the Seahawks select Willie Henry DL from Michigan. Henry is an extremely versatile defensive lineman, he played tackle and end at Michigan and got 6.5 sacks this past season. He will be a rotational guy who will be an instant impact, and at only 21 years old he has plenty of time to grow into an elite player.
Round 3: The 90th pick is spent on West Virginia DB Daryl Worley. At 6’2 Worley looks like a LOB corner, he did not play a lot of press at WVU but when he did he excelled. He is very good in man to man coverage and is a very solid tackler, at the least he is a core special teams player.
Round 3: The Seahawks last third round pick 98th overall is spent on Matt Ionnidis DL from Temple. Ionnidis is a space eater, who would excel at the 0 or 1 technique on the defensive line. With Mebane and Rubin probably gone Ionnidis will look to contribute on running downs.
Round 4: Pick 105 is used on Arizona State IOL Christian Westerman. A freak athlete for an interior offensive lineman, Westerman will fit well in a zone run blocking scheme. The only reason why he isn’t a higher pick is because he is still raw in his ability.
Round 4: Pick 115 is Le’Raven Clark, OL Texas Tech. Clark is a player who has a first round grade by some analysts and a sixth to others. Texas Tech runs an Air Raid offense which makes it hard to evaluate players strengths in a pro style offense. Clark has played Left Tackle, Right Tackle and Right Guard at Tech. I believe he etches out Alvin Bailey as the Platoon offensive tackle.
Round 4: Pick 125 is Bronson Kaufusi DL from BYU. Kaufusi is a boom or bust player, he has great athleticism and size. He played basketball and football at BYU. He has the length, strength and ability to be a Jason Pierre Paul type player. Whether or not he can unlock that potential will be interesting to watch.
Round 4: Pick 131 is Glenn Gronkowski FB/TE Kansas State. With my predicted departure of Derrick Coleman, mini gronk will have a chance to be the fullback of the Seahawks. He had very good production as a red zone target out of the backfield and has good enough vertical route ability to be a good weapon.
Round 5: Pick 143 is Travis Feeney LB from Washington. Feeney reminds me a lot of KJ Wright in that he is a lanky athletic linebacker with the ability to play three downs. Feeney’s skill in pass coverage could earn him a spot on the 53 man roster.
Round 5: Pick 172 is Peyton Barber HB from Auburn. This guy is made for a zone blocking run game, if you watch the tape on him a majority of his plays come from one cut situations. Him and Thomas Rawls could split some reps in the backfield.
Round 6: Pick 215 is Kevin Byard DB from Middle Tennessee State. He is a sideline to sideline defender at safety and has played nickel corner at times. He has a chance to have a Casey Heyward type of role (rookie year) and really contribute.
Round 7: Pick 223 is D’haquille (Duke) Williams, he deemed himself a first round talent with a seventh round personality. So here he is, a very raw player with huge upside this is a 50/50 pick for the Hawks.
Round 7: Pick 245 is Tanner Mcevoy TE/WR, he has played QB, TE and WR at Wisconsin and is a superb athlete for his size (6’6, 237 lbs, 4.47 40 yard dash). It will be up to the Hawks as to where to put him to utilize his talents. A guy destined for the practice squad the first year with pro bowl potential.
