Seattle Seahawks: 7-Round 2019 mock draft with two weeks to go
By Cory Kinnan
With about two weeks until the 2019 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks have only four picks to fill holes that were not addressed during free agency.
The 2019 NFL Draft is now just 15 days away, and the Seattle Seahawks chose to stay put for the most part during free agency. Mostly re-signing their own, the Seahawks now have team needs set in stone at pass rusher — as the future of Frank Clark remains uncertain — at tight end, along the offensive line and in the secondary.
While Seattle was expected to enter a period of rebuilding last year, they somehow managed to compete and win a Wild Card spot. It appears their Super Bowl window remains open as long as Russell Wilson is under center for the Seahawks.
Needing to capitalize on this window, the Seahawks need to hit on their limited draft assets this year. With only four picks in the draft, Seattle still has the opportunity to add talent to their roster, but must scout later round prospects much more in depth to find hidden gems.
Last year, the Seahawks surprised the world by selecting running back Rashaad Penny with their first round selection, but hit on cornerback Tre Flowers with their fifth round selection. In a deep draft class, the Seahawks have a tremendous opportunity to add solid contributors to their roster in a year where they look to continue to compete for a championship.
