Seahawks 7 round mock draft, with a trade!
By Dan Viens
FOURTH ROUND:
#26 K.J. Dillon, SS, West Virginia
Solid two-way safety with enough athletic upside to give the Hawks depth at both safety spots. Also shows a knack for being around the ball and making plays.
FIFTH ROUND:
#32 (Comp Pick) Rees Odhiambo, OT, Boise State
The Seahawks were on hand for Odhiambo’s pro day this week, and reportedly have had their eye on him for months. Some project him to move inside to guard in the pros, but he has the size (6’4″, 314 lbs) and arm length (33 1/4″) to suggest he could stick outside and project as the RT of the future. Wasn’t able to do all the testing at his pro day as he’s still recovering from a broken ankle. He will have to check out medically, but the injury may push him down the draft. This is a great value spot for a potential starting tackle.
SIXTH ROUND:
#40 Cody Core, WR, Ole Miss
That big-bodied WR the Seahawks have found so elusive played in the shadow of star Laquon Treadwell at Ole Miss, but looked great at the Rebels pro day.
SEVENTH ROUND:
#4 KeiVarae Russell, CB, Notre Dame
One of the most intriguing day #3 prospects in the draft. Russell was one of the Irish players suspended for the entire 2014 season due to “academic dishonesty” and then broke his leg at the end of last season. But at Notre Dame’s pro day yesterday he looked like a future starter. He’s just a shade under the Seahawks usual specs for their outside corners (5’11”, 192 lbs, 31 5/8″ arms) but can also play the slot.
Next: Chris Clemons returns to the Seahawks
#26 D.J. Foster, RB/WR, Arizona State
Another unique talent who the Seahawks have spent time with recently. Foster was a full time running back his first three years before playing slot receiver as a senior. Offers an attractive skill set as a possible third down back. .
