Consensus Mock Draft - Pick 20 Seattle Seahawks

[goldfishwars]

Why not, let's give this a go with combine and the major free agency moves in the book. 

Rules:

There are two polls - your first choice will count as 2pts, your second as 1pt. If players have the same score after 24 hours, the pick will go to the player with the most first place votes. 

I will take poll options from the website below, which aggregates all media big boards - so if your guy isn't on the board, don't blame me.

20. Seattle Seahawks

I would think it has to be IOL here. They have zero IOL currently signed past this season.

[Ragnarok]

Addison then Torrence for me.  

[nagahide13]

Seattle has a history of taking backs high when they already have an entrenched starter, and Bijan is the best back in a long time. Seems weird for them to take him when they've got Walker and such a weakness in the middle, but if he's there I'm still taking him. I took Torrence 2nd as the obvious fit is there.

[sparky151]

I voted Torrence and Flowers. One or the other might still be on the board for the Denver 2nd round pick.

It's hard to see them taking Bijan when Walker played pretty well last season. They could also go for an edge guy here. 

[Teen Girl Squad]

Love the fit and value with Addison and the receivers they have so it was an easy pick for me. Voted Kincaid 2nd though IOL makes sense as well. I think they'll grab a lineman in the second.

I went Zay Flowers then Drew Samuels

 

but I would switch Drew to OCyrus I didn’t see him at first 

Lockett ain’t getting no younger and having that dynamic slot would help keep that offense rolling. 

[Forge]

I'm really tempted to take Bijan here, and I think you could wholly justify it.

But give me O'Cyrus Torrence as the primary selection and Jordan Addison as the second. Lockett is getting older and I don't view the receiver room as particularly strong (though I was a huge Dareke Young fan last year as a draft sleeper / developmental prospect)

I feel like that would be a huge mistake.. they have Walker in the building and can get one or two RBs for depth a lot later.. still some good vets available as well (Lenny)

 

I would go Addison or Flowers.. Seattle needs more umph in that receiving corps and Lockett isn't getting any younger. 

[General Tso]

I was looking at Seattle's drafts from 2013-2021. Wow they are awful.

What kind of deal with the devil did Schneider/Carroll make to get their draft from 2022?

Bijan is a top 5 player in this draft, if not top 3 if we are being honest. Prospects going around #20 aren't exactly overflowing as blue chippers in a normal draft and this one kind of sucks.  For every Justin Jefferson, there's about 3 Billy Prices. Sometimes, it's just fine to take that level of prospect and putting together the best talent as opposed drafting a lesser talent at another position of need. You start to get down this low, I don't have a substantial issue with taking the talent. I didn't draft Bijan here, but I have no problem if they did. 

[sparky151]

I don't see how Robinson or any RB is a top 5 player. The difference between him and Walker just isn't going to impact the outcome of games that much. 

Seahawks extended Geno Smith and took Jalen Carter at pick 5. With 2 firsts and 2 2nd rounders this year, they should be beefing up the defense and adding weapons. Bijan would be a good weapon to add if they were bereft of good RBs but they aren't. They can get someone in round 3 or 4 to pair with Walker.

I voted for Torrence but they could probably get Avila in round 2 if they want to take a receiver here. Will McDonald wouldn't be a terrible pick here though I think it's a bit early.
