Daniel Jeremiah has published his second mock draft via NFL.com. It’s been pointed out a few times that my own projections tend to represent ‘worst case scenarios’ for the Seahawks. The players we like are usually gone by #26. We’ll continue to compare the mocks on this blog with those in the national domain to see if we’re ruling out prospects that could be available to Seattle.
There’s a lot of movement between Jeremiah’s first and second mock drafts:
— Eli Apple (CB, Ohio State) drops from #9 to #30
— Noah Spence (DE, Eastern Kentucky) wasn’t included in the first round initially but is now the #10 overall pick
— Darron Lee (LB, Ohio State) makes the jump from #24 overall to #11
— Sheldon Rankins (DT, Louisville) moves up from #21 overall to #12 overall
— Vernon Butler (DT, Louisiana Tech) leaps from #26 up to #13
— Leonard Floyd (OLB, Georgia) wasn’t included last time but is now the #17 pick
— Kamalei Correa (DE, Boise State) replaces Kyler Fackrell (OLB, Utah State) in the first round, going to Arizona at #29
— Jarran Reed (DT, Alabama) drops from #19 to #28
A lot of these trends are to be expected.
