The Seahawks might be building depth at cornerback for 2021. But by 2022, the team might need a long-term starter at CB and Robert Rochell could be that. Rochell has really good size for a Seahawks corner and can run a sub-4.4 40. So what would keep him from being drafted higher?
Well, for one Rochell is going to make the jump from Central Arkansas to the NFL and he isn’t ready, at least not ready enough to play snaps in the early part of the season.
