ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. said Monday he thinks Ole Miss defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche could be a perfect fit for the Seattle Seahawks in the first round.
The Seattle Seahawks have shown no reluctance during the Pete Carroll/John Schneider era to draft a player viewed as a risk either for on-field or off-field reasons.
And in the view of ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr., the man who helped popularize the term “mock draft,’’ the Seahawks could well take something of a leap of faith again this season.
Kiper said Monday during a conference call to preview this week’s NFL Combine that he thinks the Seahawks could look to take Mississippi defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche if he’s available when Seattle picks at No.
