Seattle Seahawks’ Ten Options At No. 95

4) Christian Covington, Rice DT

Covington is an extremely athletic defensive tackle. He generates a lot of power coming out of his stance and almost always wins the leverage battle. He creates an immediate push into the backfield on many plays.

He has good awareness as well, and has no problem finding the ball carrier and disengaging to go make the play. If Seattle isn’t planning on keeping Brandon Mebane for beyond the 2015-16 season, Christian Covington would be an excellent replacement.

Chance he’s available: 80%
