After selecting Shaquem Griffin with their first selection in the 2018 NFL Draft’s 5th round, the Seattle Seahawks remained on the defensive side of the ball for their next pick, selecting Oklahoma State defensive back Tre Flowers 146th overall. Flowers was a safety with the Cowboys, but was a prospect I had pegged as a potential cornerback conversion, and it seems as though that’s the direction they’re going to go.
Why Flowers will succeed
At 6-foot-3 and 202 pounds with 33 7/8” arms, Flowers has ideal height, weight and length for a cornerback in Pete Carroll’s defense.
