Seattle Seahawks trade back, beef up defense in 7-round 2020 mock draft
Continuing to revamp the offensive line is necessary for the Seahawks. Whether it’s Ethan Pocic, B.J. Finney or D.J. Fluker, the three spots on the interior could potentially be upgraded. And though there have been no interviews or true pro days, Logan Sternberg is a guy who’s been rising up draft boards recently.
While at Kentucky, Sternberg was a steady force on the interior of the offensive line. He started every game over the last three seasons and proved to be a mauler on the interior. Sternberg plays with tremendous strength and power at the point of attack.
To be sure, Sternberg is available outside of the top 100 because he’s not a great overall athlete. The former Wildcat isn’t particularly fluid or the best player in space. Given his experience and power, however, he could help Seattle a great deal.
Talk about players that helped themselves at the NFL Combine, Reggie Robinson II out of Tulsa was someone who undoubtedly did that. He ran a 4.44-second 40, jumped 36 inches in the vertical and jumped 11 feet in the broad as well. Robinson showed great explosiveness and speed, which were actual concerns about the Tulsa product when looking at his tape.
So with those questions answered and his athletic traits now paired with his frame (6-1, 205 pounds), length and ball production in college, he could be a steal in the fourth round. Robinson could join Shaquil Griffin as an outside cornerback and be an upgrade over Tre Flowers and Quinton Dunbar in the secondary. At the very least, he can develop into a nice player who provides Seattle’s defense with much-needed depth.
