Seattle Seahawks Mock Draft

For the Seahawks and the rest of the league, the NFL Combine is in the rear view mirror and Free Agency is well underway. Now is a great time to try and project ahead to late April for the  2017 NFL Draft.

Before we begin, we must lay down some ground rules. I am using CBS Sports board for perspective prospects, otherwise known as their “Big Board“.  The purpose is just to act as a guide for how the industry values certain prospects. No NFL team’s Big Board will exactly match anybody else’s, but it serves a purpose for us.

I will only take into account the moves the Seattle Seahawks have actually made thus far in 2017. I, like most, assume they will add another veteran offensive lineman and perhaps a veteran running back. However, to simplify our purpose today, we are assuming the draft is tomorrow, and the roster right now is essentially what it will be in April.

Once again, for the sake of simplicity, we will also assume no trades in this initial mock. I fully expect Seahawks GM John Schneider to be busy on draft day, but I will not speculate on potential trades (at least not in this Mock Draft).

I am also using Matt Miller’s (Bleacher Report) latest Mock Draft to help establish a baseline for how far a prospect could “fall”. This is to ensure that I do not find a way for the Seahawks to get a Top-10 player at pick 26.

Why Matt Miller? Simply put, he is good at his job and I have a ton of respect for him.

Now that we are all clear on the ground rules, we can get started. Remember, the Seahawks currently hold pick numbers: 26, 58, 90, 102, 106, 210, and 226.

Now without further ado, I present to you the Seattle Seahawks Mock Draft 1.0, courtesy of Emerald City Swagger.
