A new mock draft w. our 3 picks, signings and a couple trades
Posted: Sat Mar 20, 2021 8:03 am
Seahawks trade Jarran Reed to the Buffalo Bills for picks 145 5th round and 189 6th round. The Bills are in need of defensive interior talent and can afford to spend for one more year before they extend Allen. The Hawks save $3.1 million against the cap in the trade.
Seahawks cut Quandre Diggs and Tre Flowers which gives them $7 million more against the cap.
Seahawks restructure Wagner and Jackson's deal to clear additional cap space.
Seahawks sign either Dunlap or Clowney and add Antonio Brown at wideout to be right at the cap number when all is said and done.
That leaves these needs: Defensive Tackle, Safety, Corner
The Draft:
**TRADE** Seahawks trade Round 2 (56) to the Jacksonville Jaguars for picks Round 3 (65) and Round 4 (106).
Round 3 (65) Daviyon Nixon DT Iowa
Reed is gone and the Hawks need to find a quality interior rusher in the draft. Nixon had 5.5 sacks for Iowa in only 8 games in 2020. Super athletic for his size, he fills a hole that need a quality, cheap solution that the Hawks had been putting off for too long.
Round 4 (106) Andre Cisco S Syracuse
Cisco is a ballhawk safety and a whale of an athlete. In 24 career games Cisco had 14 picks. His tape really reminds me of Earl's... he's quick to diagnose the play and lays the boom taking precise angles to the ball carrier.
Round 4 (129) Tyson Campbell CB Georgia
Prototypical size the Hawks look for in the CB position at 6'2. He's also a press/zone corner which is exactly what we run. He replaces Flowers as a depth piece while Reed and Witherspoon get the bulk of the snaps so he can develop into a starter by year 2.
Round 5 (145) Brady Christiansen OT BYU
Played a solid left tackle at BYU protecting Zach Wilson's blind side. Is a solid athlete for his size and from what I can tell, he moves quite well. Hawks need to draft a tackle somewhere as both Duane Brown and Brandon Shell are free agents following the 2021 season. He projects better at right tackle int he NFL which is just fine.
Round 6 (189) Cornell Powell WR Clemson
Powell did virtually nothing his first 3 years at Clemson and then went off for 800+ yards receiving and 7 TD's his senior season. His final 6 games of his career he had 120+ receiving yards. He's got a big, muscular frame at 6'0 205 and looks the part with great route running, solid hands and YAC ability. Hawks look for their traditional diamond in the rough wideout and get one late.
Round 7 (250) Robert Jones OG Middle Tennessee St.
A tackle in college who will have to move to guard due to some limited athleticism... Jones is a mauler who had a great senior bowl showing. Very powerful in the run game who consistently moved his block well into the 2nd level from what I saw.
