Seattle Seahawks mock draft: with no early offensive linemen!
By Keith Myers
Round 5
Round 5, Pick 2: Daryl Worley, CB, West Virginia
For some reason, West Virginia cornerback Daryl Worley ends up as a part of over half of my Seahawks mock drafts. He has the length and athleticism that the Seahawks like at the position. He also has the technique flaws that’ll ensure he drops down into the range where the Seahawks tend to draft defensive backs.
Worley’s technique flaws are mostly in his footwork, which is why I think he’s a good fit for Seattle. The Seahawks require that their CBs rework their technique to incorporate the kick-step technique anyways, and I’m confident they can fix his false steps at the same time.
Round 5, Pick 32: Demarcus Robinson, WR, Florida
Physically, Florida WR Demarcus Robinson is a guy that belongs much earlier in the draft. He’s tall, long limbed, and plays with a suddenness that is rare for a guy his size
The problem with Robinson has been entirely off the field. He has been suspended from the team four times during his college career. Those suspensions spanned two coaching staffs. There are clearly issues that must be overcome for him to make an impact at the next level.
Pete Carroll and Seattle’s coaching staff have excelled at getting the most out of troubled players like Robinson. His talent is worth the risk at this point in the draft
