ESPN’s Mel Kiper and Field Yates have a brand spankin’ new three-round mock draft to get NFL fans talking. For once, Seattle doesn’t have Washington offensive lineman Troy Fautanu mocked to them at No. 16, so we actually have something new to talk about for a change.
Both Michael Penix Jr and Bo Nix were on the board when the Seahawks were on the clock in the first round, but Seattle bypassed both of them. Instead, Yates has Seattle taking arguably the best defensive tackle in the draft, Byron Murphy II.
From the paywalled article:
Yates’ pick: Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas
Seattle needs to hammer the interior of the defensive line at some point early in the draft, and Murphy is the best defensive tackle in the class.
