All 32 NFL teams are now frantically trying to recruit the best of the undrafted players. Here’s a look at some of the prospects the Seattle Seahawks may be looking at.

At first glance, it appears the Seahawks had a very strong draft, but there were some curious picks (3 running backs?) and some notable ommissions (no QB?).

Here’s a look at the best players available at the close of the NFL draft.

OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS:

The Seahawks have not added an obvious replacement for departed free agent OLB Bruce Irvin. 

  • Eric Striker, Oklahoma
  • Montese Overton, East Carolina
  • Steve Longa, Rutgers
  • Christian French, Oregon (VMAC visitor)

SAFETIES:

Someone who can backup Kam Chancellor at SS, or possibly even be a hybrid CB/S is seen as a need that wasn’t addressed in the draft. 

  • Jeremy Cash, Duke
  • Tyvis Powell, Ohio State
  • Tevin Carter, Utah
  • Jordan Simone, Arizona State

CORNER BACKS:

Not seen as a glaring need. Lots of depth on the roster. 

  • Nick VanHoose, Northwestern
  • Cleveland Wallace, San Jose St.
  • Morgan Burns, Kansas St.
  • Ken Crawley, Colorado

DEFENSIVE LINE:

  • Destiny Vaeao, Washington State
  • Roy Robertson-Harris, UTEP
  • James Cowser, Southern Utah
  • Joel Heath, Michigan State
  • Aziz Shittu, Stanford
  • D.J. Pettway, Alabama
  • Antwaun Woods, USC
  • Ian Seau, Nevada
  • Connor Wujciak, Boston College

OFFENSIVE LINE:

  • Jack Allen, C, Michigan State
  • Jake Brendel, C, UCLA
  • Stephane Nembot, T, Colorado
  • Marcus Henry, C, Boise State
  • Pearce Slater, T, San Diego State
  • Anthony Fabiano, C, Harvard

TIGHT ENDS:

  • Jake McGee, Florida
  • Henry Krieger Coble, Iowa
  • Bryce Williams, East Carolina
  • Ben Braunecker, Harvard

WIDE RECEIVERS:

  • Devon Cajuste, Stanford
  • Jay Lee, Baylor
  • Jaydon Mickens, Washington
  • Mitch Mattews, BYU
  • Dom Williams, WSU

RUNNINGS BACKS:

This wouldn’t appear to be a need after the Seahawks added 3 in the draft.

  • Tra Carson, Texas A&M
  • Peyton Barber, Auburn
  • Glenn Gronkowski, Kansas State
  • Tre Madden, USC
  • Devon Johnson, Marshall

QUARTERBACKS:

It was a surprise they didn’t add a young developmental signal-caller in the draft. Russell Wilson is currently the only QB on the Seahawks roster. They have an offer out to Tarvarius Jackson but will need to sign at least a couple arms to run rookie mini camp next week. 

Vernon Adams, Oregon

  • Liam Nadler, Gannon (Seahawks linked to him in the pre-draft process)
  • Matt Johnson, Bowling Green

    Jake Coker, Alabama

    Josh Woodrum, Liberty
