Fifth Round 

5-Comp (~134 overall): Dadi Nicolas, Edge, Virginia Tech

This year’s draft is fairly weak in edge rushers so since Seattle likely won’t be able to get one of the few top end talents early, I think it’s likely they’ll wait until day three.

Nicolas only started playing football his senior year of high school so he still has a lot of room to develop. He’s a little small for the defensive end position he played in college (6’3”, 235lbs) but his speed and short area quickness are such that he could be converted to the SAM linebacker position (Bruce Irvin’s role).
