My rational:

1. As Donn mentioned he saved his sister's life. Hawks seem to value that sibling bond.

2. Went to a school affiliated with one of our coaches

3. Same name as my 1,577th favorite Mariner

4. A bit young and raw but could be perfect guy to develop into the next Duane Brown over the next two seasons.

5. Might be able to trade down a few picks and still get him

I know they have started rookies, Ifedi and RW in particular but I don't think its what they prefer, Ifedi shouldn't have started. They got Shell and Brown for short term, I'm thinking they would want a guy to develop...SI has them taking Isaiah Wilson

Isaiah Wilson at 27? Or trading down?

it was a mock that didn't allow trades...

https://www.si.com/nfl/seahawks/gm-repo ... mock-draft
Unable to land one of the top pass rushers available or trade down to recoup picks, the Seahawks chose to beef up at the tackle positions with pick No. 27 overall, selecting hulking 6-foot-6, 350 pound Isaiah Wilson out of Georgia.

A two-year starter for the Bulldogs, Wilson should mesh well with Seattle's scheme and fits the style of player they look for at right tackle. He's a long-armed, physical mauler who overpowers opponents as a blocker in the ground game and offers surprisingly nimble footwork in pass protection for a lineman of his stature.

As one of the youngest tackles in this year's draft, Wilson may need a bit of time before he's ready to start and needs to be coached up technique-wise. But after signing Brandon Shell in free agency, the Seahawks won't have to rush him into the lineup until he's ready and he could be a fixture on the right side of the offensive line for years to come.

Thank goodness that neither a Chone Figgins or a Jesus Montero are draft eligible

I'm going to say they shock the world and trade up in the 1st to get Javon Kinlaw if he's available around 18-20. Big guy that will clog up the middle.

heck, there are health concerns about Kinlaw, he might even drop to them
However, Kinlaw had hip surgery in 2018 and had knee problems that both shut him down at the Senior Bowl and prevented him from working out in Indianapolis at the combine. Per Bryan Broaddus of 105.3 The Fan in Dallas, some NFL teams have expressed significant concerns about his durability.
