Seahawks and NFC West rivals: 2019 NFL draft day three recap
The Seahawks closed out a surprising 2019 NFL draft with solid picks on day three. Here’s a look at how they and their NFC West rivals fared.
The Seahawks made a dizzying assortment of moves on day one and day two of the NFL draft. Seattle seemed to move up and down at will, then got the maximum-effort edge rusher, the guided-missile safety, the lightning-fast wide receiver, and the tackling-machine linebacker they needed. Okay, linebacker might not have been as pressing a need, but Barton has a nose for the football. Day three brought its own surprises, not just for Seattle but the entire NFC West.
We’ve recapped the NFC West for both day one and day two already. The Cardinals and Niners added potential game-changers in round one. You’d think so, considering they were the first two players taken overall. The Rams waited till day two to add talent. Each of the Seahawks rivals added players in the second and third rounds that could be potential trouble-makers for Seattle for years to come.

On day three of the draft, the Seahawks added what seemed like a ton of talent, thanks to the truly game-changing abilities of John Schneider. That description of a ton isn’t too far off the mark, as Seattle drafted a whopping 1,638 pounds of players on Saturday. That payload broke down into seven players in all. Pete Carroll and Schneider added two more wide receivers, the only offensive linemen of their draft, a corner, a second linebacker, a running back, and a defensive tackle. You’ll meet all of them and their NFC West counterparts in the following pages.
