Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider hopes the team will return to winning ways after missing out on the playoffs in the past two seasons. After signing quarterback Sam Darnold, receiver Cooper Cup and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence to make a big splash in free agency, the Seahawks are trying to add more to the draft.
Seattle has 10 picks overall. The San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens have 11 times in the first 100, while the Baltimore Ravens have five more.
Here’s the Seahawks’ 7-round mock draft.
Round 1, No. 18 Overall: Nick Emanwy,s, South Carolina
Eman Wy, a physical freak with impressive performances in the combine, gave Mike MacDonald a defensively explosive chess piece on the back end. At NFC West, Seattle must match the physical and major threats of the Rams’ Pukanakua and Davante Adams, the threats of George Kittle and the 49ers and Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr. and Cardinals. Emmanwori can keep the middle of defense and cover big receivers at the moment of got-to-have-it. He was modelled after McDonald’s Baltimore coach Kyle Hamilton. Emanwy met with the Seahawks at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Round 2, No. 50 Overall: Tattoo Treadge,ol, Georgia
A four-year starter for the Bulldogs, Ratledge has experience in zone-based running schemes and plays at the edge. He had a huge personality and was the Georgia team captain. This is the trait Schneider is looking for from a team building perspective. While the history of Rutledge’s injury is a concern, he should be a smart, athletic player and help him strengthen Seattle’s problems with the offensive line of the interior and protect Darnold in the passing game.

Round 2, No. 52 Overall: Terrance Ferguson,TE, Oregon
With Noah Fant in the final year of the contract, Ferguson will provide some level of guarantee next year if Iowa products depart for free agency. Ferguson also has the ability to add another dimension to the passing game and extend the center of the field. The 6-foot-5, 253-pounder ran the fastest time among tight ends at the combine, posting a 4.63 40. Ferguson met with the Seahawks at the Combine.
Round 3, No. 82 Overall: Ashton Guillott,de, Louisville
With both Uchenna Nwosu and free agent addition Lawrence both injured, Seattle was able to use some help at the edge of the pass rush. Guillott filled out Louisville’s stats sheet and put 24.5 bags over the last two seasons. He was also impressed with a 40-yard dash of 4.65 seconds and a 10-yard split of 1.59 seconds on Pro Day.
Round 3, No. 92 Overall: Kyle WilliamsWR, Washington State
I’ll stick with him in this mock draft as I chose Williams for the Seahawks here with my best receiver fit. After moving from veterans Tyler Rockett and Metcalf from this offseason, Seattle needs a quick, deep threat to play on the field. Williams has similar skills to Rocket’s graduating college, adding explosiveness to Seattle’s attacks, giving Darnold another playmaker.

Round 4, No. 137 Overall: Bryce Caveldeu,ol, Kansas
The Seahawks got another piece to reinforce the interior of the 6-foot-5, 308-pound Caveldeu offensive line. He played both left and right tackle for the Jayhawks in a zone-based scheme, but he is scheduled to move inside to guard at the next level. However, he was able to develop into a swing player who could play guards and work on them in the NFL. His addition would improve the overall depth of Seattle’s offensive line. The Seahawks did Caveldeu for their pre-draft visit.
Round 5, No. 172 Overall: The FraserCB, UTSA
Like Seahawks Pro Bowler Tariq Woolen, Frazier was a speedy, whimsical corner and a slow bluemer who played for Road Runners. Frazier had excellent production in his final college season, finishing with six interceptions and 15 pass breakups. He gave Seattle a size/speed project on the third day, adding depth to the defensive back room. Fraser recently made a pre-draft visit with the Seahawks.
Round 5, No. 175 Overall: Dillon GabrielQB, Oregon
The 24-year-old Signal Cara has a similar skill set to Russell Wilson, the best quarterback in Seahawks history. Gabriel led Oregon to the Big Ten Championship to bring impressive numbers, placing third in the Heisman Trophy vote. He plays more Seneca Wallace-like roles as a backup that will allow Darnold to win the game in a pinch with his double threat abilities if he gets injured.
Round 7, No. 223 Overall: Jailin Walkerlb, Indiana
Walker ran a fiery 4.40 40 on Pro Day and began his professional career as a special team player. He had two years at James Madison and produced one good production in Indiana, combining a total of 227 tackles, 27 pass splits and seven forced fumbles. So there’s an advantage there.
Round 7, No. 234 Overall: Montrell Johnson Jr.. , rb, Florida
The Seahawks hope to run football consistently, so they managed to grab a productive player from the deep running back pool on the third day with Johnson. The New Orleans native has the fifth fastest time among running backs at the combine, posting 4.41 40. Johnson finished his college career with 3,089 rushing yards and 33 touchdowns, averaging 5.4 yards per carry.
