Seattle Seahawks 7 Round Mock Draft

The NFL Draft begins this afternoon. That gives us one last chance to fit in another Seattle Seahawks 7 round mock draft before the real thing begins. This mock was created use first-pick.com‘s draft simulator.

We’ve done enough of these that they no longer need an introduction. Let’s jump straight to the picks.

Round 2, Pick 31: A.J. Cann, OG, South Carolina

Cann is the highest rated guard I’ve scouted this year by a wide margin. He has a late first round grade, and I don’t believe there is any chance he drops this far. In almost every simulation I’ve seen, Cann is taken off the board somewhere between picks 22 and 40. When he was sitting there at 63, it didn’t matter who else was available, this was an easy pick.

Round 3, Pick 31: Tyler Lockett, WR, Kansas State

I’m not as high on Lockett as Dan, Greg and Charles are. Those guys think he’s going to be the next T.Y. Hilton. I think he’s going to be a fantastic punt and pick returner, and he should be able to contribute as a slot receiver. He’s way too short to be an ideal match for Seattle, but this is good value and he fills needs.

Round 4, Pick 13: Za’Darius Smith, DE/OLB, Kentucky

Smith is the edge rusher the Seahawks need. He draws a lot of Bruce Irvin comparisons, and for good reasons. They are similar athletes, and Smith has some of the same deficiencies in his game that Irvin did coming out of college. Worst case scenario here is that Smith ends up as a strong side linebacker.

Round 4, Pick 31: Kenny Bell, WR, Nebraska

The Seahawks double up at wide receiver, this time picking a guy who is a more natural fit in their offense. Bell is a very athletic player with great hands. He also is a high effort blocker. His tape reminds me a lot of Hines Ward.

Round 4, Pick 35 (Comp): Jesse James, TE, Penn State

Jame is 6’7″ tall and is well above average as an athlete amongst NFL players. He’s also extremely raw as a player and needs to work on his technique at just about everything. He’s just too interesting as an athlete not to take a risk on.

Round 5, Pick 31: Darryl Baldwin, OT, Ohio State

Baldwin is a well above average athlete overall, but he is likely a guard in the NFL. He doesn’t have ideal lateral quickness for a tackle. Then again, I thought the same thing about Justin Britt and the Seahawks like him as the RT of the present and future. Baldwin is very similar.

Round 5, Pick 34 (Comp): Nick Marshall, CB, Auburn

Marshall was a QB in college, but his athletic profile is perfect for a Seahawks cornerback. Plus, his knowledge of schemes and route combinations as a former signal caller certainly cannot hurt. He’s the type of guy that Kris Richard can turn into a star if given enough time.

Round 6, Pick 5: Kristjan Sokoli, DT, Buffalo

Sokoli is an absolute freak of an athlete that is still learning the game of football. A guy who is that fast and strong, and plays with that much explosiveness, can definitely find success in the NFL. All reports on him also mention that he has an amazing work ethic, which means he should learn quickly on the job.

Round 6, Pick 33 (Comp): Ryan Murphy, FS, Oregon State

This is the point where my mock drafts start to fall apart. Positions where Seattle still needs a player are left with no players that I like. Instead of taking a crummy player, I’ll take a guy who can play but at a position Seattle doesn’t need. Think of this pick as another Winston Guy. Seattle doesn’t need a safety, but athletes like Murphy aren’t easy to find at the position.

Round 6, Pick 39 (Comp): David Andrews, C, Georgia

A third offensive lineman? Sure, why not! Andrews’ tape just screams “Tom Cable.” He’s a great run blocker who can’t pass protect at all. He’ll fit right in with the Seahawks.

Round 7, Pick 31: Deon Simon, DT, Northwestern St.

I’ve been saving Deon Simon as a possibility until today on purpose, and I was happy to see him sitting there in this draft simulation. Simon is big, athletic nose tackle. He likely won’t be ready to be “the guy” until 2016, but there’s potential in there for him to replace Brandon Mebane.
