The Seahawks took offensive lineman of LSU with their second pick of the 2017 draft, No. 58 overall in the second round.
Pocic listed at 6-6, 310, was a consensus All-American as a center and a three-year starter for the Tigers.
He played mostly center for LSU, starting 27 games there for the Tigers, but also started one game at right tackle last season and nine at right guard in 2014 and there has been some thought he could be a better right tackle in the NFL. Pocic was identified as a tackle when his selection was announced in Philadelphia by former Seahawk Jacob Green.
Pocic has drawn some comparisons to current Seattle center Justin Britt, who stands 6-6, 315. Pocic, in fact, said in a telephone interview with Seattle media following his selection that he often compared himself to Britt.
Pocic said he considers himself "an offensive lineman" able to play all five spots and that the Seahawks did not specify a position he would play.
But right tackle might make some sense as a spot for Pocic to get a look as the Seahawks need some depth there after letting Garry Gilliam leave via free agency last week.
