Why Seahawks fans should be excited about L.J. Collier

The Seattle Seahawks have selected TCU defensive end L.J Collier with the 29th overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft.

This pick is a bit of a reach but he does fit what the Seahawks like in their defenders. He is a strong and explosive player who plays with a ton of energy. He performed very well at the Senior Bowl and put together a couple good years of film at TCU. Not a flashy pick but a solid player.

For the Seahawks, taking the chance on Collier could turn out to be quite beneficial. He moves well and could provide a good pass rush for a team that desperately needs it.

After trading away Frank Clark, the Seahawks needed an edge rush. Collier is a big bodied guy who can help them with that pass rushing issue.
