Needs Analysis: The Seahawks' porous offensive line is in even worse shape after the loss of Russell Okung. If the Seahawks want to keep their Super Bowl "window of opportunity" open, they might have to address offensive tackle in the first round. The loss of Brandon Mebane hurts in the middle of the
defensive line, and the loss of Bruce Irvin's speed off the edge is a concern as well. Seattle did a god job of building its defensive front through the draft and will need to do that once again. Seattle covets
play-making secondary players and adding new cornerback depth at some point would make sense.
1st round 31st overall Germain Ifedi OG 6'6" 324 Texas A&M 5.8
Pick Analysis: "He was announced as a tackle, but some people like him inside at guard. He's massive and powerful, but I question his technique. He's a bit of a waist-bender. Whether he plays tackle or guard, he will be coached by one of the best in the business in Tom Cable. This is a really good pick for a team that needs offensive linemen." -- Mike Mayock
Round 2,18th (49) Jarran Reed DT 6'3" 307 Alabama 6.1
Pick Analysis: "Talk about value, this was my 13th-rated player in the draft. He is always working forward with that powerful base and dominates against the run." -- Daniel Jeremiah
Round 3, Pick 27 (90) C.J. Prosise RB 6'0" 220 Notre Dame 5.5
Pick Analysis: "Prosise is a former wide receiver, and Pete Carroll likes players with unique skill sets. He could be a specialback in this league." -- NFL Media analyst Michael Robinson
Round 3, Pick 32 (94) Nick Vannett TE 6'6" 257 Ohio St. 5.7
Pick Analysis: "He's a made player. His first two years weren't very good, but in the last two years he was phenomenal. He has very good size and is a good route runner." -- Ohio State coach Urban Meyer
Round 3, Pick 35 (97) Compensatory Selection Rees Odhiambo OG 6'4" 314 Boise St. 5.4
Pick Analysis: "Tom Cable is going to love this guy. I have two issues with him. One, durability. Two, I don't know where to play him. Cable will love him because he's athletic,and he can turn these type of guys into good football players." -- Mike Mayock
Round 5, Pick 8 (147) Quinton Jefferson DT 6'4" 291 Maryland 5.1
Pick Analysis: Jefferson is a 1-gapper who rotated along Maryland's 34 front. There is some uncertainty with the future of Seattle's defensive front so this is a depth pick as well as a future investment.--Mark Dulgerian
Round 5, Pick 34 (171) Compensatory Selection Alex Collins RB 5'10" 217 Arkansas 5.5
Pick Analysis: Collins fits what Seattle likes in it's runners-a downhill, power-back with enough speed to break through the 2nd level. Their RB depth is shaky so Collins should get plenty of opportunity to contribute early.--Mark Dulgerian
Round 6, Pick 40 (215) Compensatory Selection Joey Hunt C 6'0" 295 TCU 4.8
Pick Analysis: Tom
Cable has a set of kids to mold into his scheme. Hunt has size
deficiencies but he's the type of mobile blocker Cable can work with.
--Mark Dulgerian
Round 7, Pick 22 (243) Kenny Lawler WR 6'2" 203 California 5.4
All-Pac-12 pick in 2015 with 52 catches for 658 yards 13 TDs
Pick Analysis: Lawler was Jared Goff's favorite red
zone target because of his large hands and catch radius. His athletic
traits are average but his ball skills should be intriguing enough to
compete for a spot at the bottom of the roster.
--Mark Dulgerian
Round 7, Pick 26 (247) Zac Brooks RB Clemson
4.32 40 speed injured in 2014
Pick Analysis: The departure of Marshawn Lynch had an
obvious impact on Seattle's draft plan, selecting their 3rd RB in this
draft. He tested well and will get his shot in camp.
