Neil at No. 96 would reply the query of nook depth behind Devon Witherspoon and Josh (*96*). Texas Tech’s Romello Height was nonetheless accessible right here.
Perhaps the largest shock is how late these DPR-type cross rushers are nonetheless accessible that had huge manufacturing within the extra aggressive conferences. Thomas and Height have been every projected first-rounders at one point- and maybe the truth that host Trevor Sikkema was keen to let the Seahawks go into day three with out drafting both says one thing about how deep the category really is.
While guard may be one of the best shot at upgrading an each down starter and cornerback depth is as essential as any, the one space the Seahawks nonetheless had hassle with the Los Angeles Rams in was speeding the passer. After dropping Boye Mafe, they should substitute his pace rush model of their rotation. A real defensive function participant like Thomas or Height would go a great distance in the direction of that. If they don’t get certainly one of them, they may be prepared to select certainly one of New Mexico’s Keyshawn James-Newby or Western Michigan’s Nadame Tucker on Day 3 and thrust them into motion as a rookie.
