Seahawks begin flurry of Day 3 picks with help for Russell Wilson, end with UW LB Ben Burr-Kirven

RENTON — After making yet another trade to accumulate more picks as the final day of the 2019 NFL draft opened Saturday, the Seahawks then added to their receiver position, taking Gary Jennings of West Virginia at pick number 120, which began a dizzying sequence of picks in which Seattle added four players in about an hour.

It was a sequence that ended with a pick that resonated across Lake Washington as Seattle selected UW linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven with pick No. 142 in the fifth round.

Seattle had earlier also taken guard Phil Haynes of Wake Forest at 124, also in the fourth round.
