4. Myles Jack, LB/S/CB/RB, UCLA

Jack is the freakish super-athlete that was once named Pac 12’s offensive and defensive freshman of the year in the same season. He’s a LB that can cover slot receivers one-on-one; a safety that can play both as a single-high safety or in the box; and arguably the 2nd-best RB in this draft class. This is a top 5 player in every way.

Concerns over the cartilage in his knee has Jack slipping down draft boards. Teams are leery of drafting a player whose career may be over when his rookie contract ends. That shouldn’t matter much to Seattle, that has had no problems letting guys like Byron Maxwell and Bruce Irvin walk after their rookie contracts.

Jack is a special player, a transcendent player, and teams that pass on him will end up regretting it. His knee will make him slide down in the draft a bit, but it would still take a miracle for him to reach No. 26.
