The NFL draft is just weeks away, and while the coronavirus pandemic has caused the league to make major changes to the format, April’s premier event will kick off as planned on April 23.
Now down to the wire, most draft pundits are putting together their final mocks after the first wave of free agency filled a few holes for teams around the league.
While most analysts have the Seahawks selecting a defensive player in the first round, NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah has Seattle going with an offensive prospect at No. 27 overall.
Jeremiah believes the Seahawks will pick offensive tackle Austin Jackson out of USC in the first round.
“Jackson was very up and down last season, but he’s an outstanding athlete,” Jeremiah writes. “He should continue to improve as a pro.”
However, Seattle might be looking for a more polished player to start the season on the line instead of a multi-year project.
