In this mock draft I have us trading Geno Smith to the Falcons for their 2nd round pick #43. The Falcons owner wants a veteran QB this year, so the Geno trade is a win-win for both the Seahawks and the Falcons. The Seahawks would have to take on some of Geno's contract for this year. That would enable the Seahawks to get a 2nd round pick from the Falcons as opposed to a 3rd or 4th round pick.
1st round #16 - (OC) Jackson Powers-Johnson 6'3" 332 lbs, Oregon: JPJ is one of the best, if not the best, OCs I have ever scouted. He has the size, balance/agility, scheme versatility, awareness, and mean streak. He quickly gets to the second level and finds work during run plays. It is rare for a OC prospect to have all of these traits. He will help keep a young QB clean in the pocket and also dominate in the run game to open up lanes for our two stud RBs.
2nd round #43 - (QB) Spencer Rattler 6'1" 215 lbs, South Carolina: NFL teams were hoping to draft Rattler in the 3rd or 4th round, but that is no longer the case because of a good showing at the Senior Bowl week. He has a ton of playing experience, strong arm, quick release, good ball placement, and he is a good athlete for a QB. We have great WRs, great RBs, and a good offensive line (JPJ factored into the equation). Which sets the table for Rattler to be successful in year one.
3rd round #78 - (ILB) Cedric Gray 6'2" 235 lbs, North Carolina: Gray is a very good coverage LB in the draft and also looks like a good athlete for his position. Hard hitting LBs are a dime a dozen, good coverage LBs are much more challenging to acquire. Which is why I think Gray is a must have for Macdonald's scheme. Gray just always makes plays.
3rd round #81 - (NT/DE) Khristian Boyd 6'3" 320 lbs, Northern Iowa: Boyd is underrated at this point which is why I am drafting him higher than where he is currently rated as a prospect. I've read that Boyd was a man amongst boys at the Shrine Bowl. He is athletic for his size and was a team leader on his team. PFF gave him a good pass rush win rate for the year.
4th round #154 - (S) Kitan Oladapo 6'1" 217 lbs, Oregon State: Oladapo has good size and speed. Really productive player that can do a bit of everything as a safety. He can cover TEs, he has good ball skills, and looks good in run support. This past year he had 74 tackles, 3 TFLs, 8 PBUs, 2 INTs, and 1 sack.
5th round #118 - (OLB/DE) Braiden McGregor 6'5" 267 lbs, Michigan: McGregor is a long, quick, fluid athlete for his size. I see him as a OLB on our team as well as DE on obvious passing situations. He does not have a lot of playing experience, but JS will love his upside.

6th round #194 - (TE) Tip Reiman 6'4" 273 lbs, Illinois: Tip is a big body TE has the frame to be a good inline TE. He is considered a good blocking TE. He would pair up nicely with Noah Fant, after we cut Dissly.

7th round #236 - (OT) Anim Dankwah 6'8" 362 lbs, Howard: Dankwah is a project OT with high upside. He was 1st-team All-MEAC selection in his conference this year. Big man could be a homerun if he develops like his current trajectory suggests.
