Seahawks mock draft 7.0: Building the offensive line of the future

Round 5

Taylor is plenty fast for a cornerback and ran a 4.41 40 at the combine. He also has 31 1/4″ arms which are a good length for a Pete Carroll CB and he is 6-feet-tall and 200 pounds so he is a decent size for an NFL corner too. Taylor has all the physical attributes to be a productive player.

Taylor does need to not be afraid to tackle bigger running backs, though. He does play with a bit of a chip on his shoulder, however, so I don’t think he truly fears bigger players; His tackling can be fixed with better technique.

Jason Myers could be cut by the Seahawks and Seattle would save $4 million. It almost seems silly that in an offseason when Seattle should be trying to clear some cap space for future signings that the Seahawks have held on to the kicker. Myers is good but York should be too.

York was a ridiculous 15 of 19 from beyond 50 yards in college and deadly accurate on shorter kicks as well. He has all the leg strength to be a very good kicker in the NFL. Drafting him means releasing Myers and saving money.

In this mock draft, Seattle trades with the Chargers for pick 159 and a seventh-round choice in 2023 in return the Seahawks get picks 160 and 214. Henningsen is likely a better fit in a 3-4 base and Seattle seems to be transitioning more to that in 2022. He is very strong and should be a good run-stopper immediately.

But the 6’3″ and 290-pound Henningsen also has nice athleticism that he can use to get around offensive linemen. He might not supply a lot of quarterback pressures at the beginning of his career but he can learn to do that better.
