The Seahawks have selected cornerback Tye Smith of Towson with the 34th pick of the 5th round, 170 overall. Tye Smith is a cornerback in the Seattle mold that's almost too obvious: 32" arms, 78" wingspan, and testing in the 60th SPARQ percentile. He's been connected to Seattle frequently, but did not visit the VMAC.
