Marsh will be looking to replace Chris Clemons and Red Bryant as a third defensive end that slides in during pass rush situations. He was effective in college with 155 total tackles and 16 sacks in four seasons and he has tremendous size (6-foot-4, 252 pounds). Marsh brings with him a lot of energy that could rub some people the wrong way, but the Seahawks and their fans won’t care (see Richard Sherman). His passion should make him an even more effective player and that’s the kind of thing the Seahawks are looking for.

Grade: A-
