Seahawks Day 3 draft picks: Fans react on Twitter

The Seahawks had five picks on Day 3 of the 2020 NFL draft. How did fans react to all Seattle’s choices? Like this.

The Seahawks took five more players in the 2020 NFL Draft on day 3. Two were receivers and /or tight ends, one was a running back, one was a pure receiver and the other was a defensive end. It used to be that Seattle would find several important day 3 gems (Kam Chancellor and Richard Sherman, to name two). Maybe one or all five of the 2020 day 3 picks will be nearly that good too.

Seattle only had three picks in the first two rounds, so they absolutely need a few of these players to hit to help the franchise be successful long-term. But in a way, this may have been John Schneider and Pete Carroll’s strangest draft.

We put out articles relating to fans’ reactions to Seattle’s first two days as well. Most of them were mixed about Jordyn Brooks but day 2 was a little happier.

So what did fans think about this year’s day 3 choices? Some of their thoughts are below.

Fourth round, pick 133 – Tight end Colby Parkinson, Stanford

Truth be told, Murph is a friend of mine and a Patriots fan. He is familiar with a team liking tight ends quite a bit. Maybe Seattle is trying to be more like New England. However, there seems to be a lot of thought that Parkinson is going to be a big receiver for the Seahawks instead of a tight end.

I was thinking the same thing about this point in the draft, to be honest.

Parkinson is 6’7″ and 250 pounds. He isn’t slow but yes, he is very tall.

This is an excellent takeaway. Watching the film on Parkinson since he was picked, this tweet is extremely apt.

Fourth round, pick 144 –  Running back DeeJay Dallas, Miami

Sounds like what Chris Carson did at Oklahoma State before the Seahawks chose him in the 7th round of 2017. Plus, Dallas knows Travis Homer from college so Homer can ease the transition.

I like the optimism here and Seattle does need some depth at kick and punt returner.

Fifth round, pick 148 – Defensive end Alton Robinson, Syracuse

This is an excellent point. Though let’s hope Robinson is a bit more ready than Mayowa was out of college.

9 out of 10. That’s good stuff.

Dan is good at what he does and I enjoy reading his Tweets. If Dan “loves” this pick then it is a guaranteed good one.

Sixth round, pick 214 – Receiver Freddie Swain, Florida

This tweet may be the best response I got of any of the players. It is very succinct yet full of good, and hopeful, information on Swain. At the time, I did not know who Swain was but watching film of him since Mr. Martinez knows exactly what he is talking about.

Again, depth at punt returner is a good thing.

This tweet is a little but melancholy but is probably exactly what a lot of 12s were thinking.

Seventh round, pick 251 – Tight end Stephen Sullivan, LSU

Sullivan has good size and speed. The worrisome is he wasn’t more productive in college, especially since Joe Burrow was his quarterback the last two years.

Agreed. The Seahawks made a late trade to get back in the draft to take someone who seems like a tight end. Not a position of need.

An excellent point. If Seattle liked Sullivan enough to try to sign him as an undrafted free agent and knew he was going to be taken before the draft was over, why not trade back in? Good thought.
