Round 3, Pick 92 (via Chiefs): David Edwards, OT, Wisconsin
Duane Brown has proven to be a great acquisition for the Seahawks, especially now that they are so heavily invested in Russell Wilson. At right tackle, though, Seattle is still saddled with first-round bust Germain Ifedi. That’s not a great position to be in, so the Seahawks look to upgrade by going after David Edwards from Wisconsin.
Edwards certainly fits the bill for the offense Seattle showed last year, relying on a run-heavy approach. And while his pass-protection is the weak point of his game, he has the physical profile to develop into a solid cog in that regards. Most importantly, though, Edwards would be an immediate upgrade over Ifedi and give Pete Carroll more stability up front.
Round 4, Pick 124: Miles Boykin, WR, Notre Dame
There are certainly things to like about the Seahawks receiving corps as it stands, but there just as many reasons to be dubious. Tyler Lockett appears to have a defined ceiling, Doug Baldwin has been injured and isn’t getting younger and the rest are inconsistent commodities. Thus, the Seahawks take a flier to get Wilson another weapon.
While Miles Boykin’s production at Notre Dame doesn’t match his physical profile, that profile is enough to make any NFL team intrigued. Size, speed and overt athleticism are all present for the former Fighting Irish wideout and, if he can get coached up on the nuances of the position, he could be a viable No. 1 for Wilson quite soon.
Round 5, Pick 159: Lamont Gaillard, IOL, Georgia
The notion of putting improvements around Wilson continues with the Seahawks’ final selection of the 2019 NFL Draft as they nab Lamont Gaillard out of Georgia. Though he played exclusively center for the Bulldogs, Gaillard — like any interior offensive lineman — offers a bit of versatility to potentially move around a little.
Between injuries and inconsistent play, there isn’t a lot of faith to be had on the interior of the Seahawks offensive line as things currently stand. As such, adding a player like Gaillard on Day 3 would be a tremendous depth piece, or even a potential starter from the time he steps on the field.
