2017 NFL Draft: Seahawks Take Nazair Jones in 3rd Round

Jones is another interior defensive lineman. The Seahawks obviously know where their issues were last season. Need to draft for quality at defensive tackle? Check. Need to find help in the secondary? Check. Need some offensive line help? Again, check.

Jones is an interesting story. He nearly stopped playing football in high school due to “suffering from complex regional pain syndrome, a disease that made him unable to walk and caused him to lose 50 pounds in a month,” according the NFL.com.

Since going to college, though, Jones has become a beast. He is a large young man.
