Draft Pick Rundown: 7 points on Seahawks seventh round selection John Ursua

The Seattle Seahawks struck a deal with the Jaguars to move back into the 2019 NFL Draft after making their final selection, acquiring pick 236 to select wide receiver John Ursua. In order to select Ursua—and ensure his services rather than risking rookie free agency—the Seahawks dealt a 2020 sixth round pick to Jacksonville.

Ursua checks all of Seattle’s boxes at wide receiver, with great explosiveness—a 10-foot broad jump and 37” vertical—and agility (6.77 three cone is the second fastest among receivers drafted by the Seahawks since 2010). Though Ursua is slightly undersized, even for a slot at 178 pounds, it’s only a little lighter than Tyler Lockett weighed in at ahead of his draft.
