Seahawks select Mafe, Walker in 2nd round; Lucas in 3rd

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Even with nearly all the quarterback prospects still available, the Seattle Seahawks decided the second day of the NFL draft was too early to try to find another quarterback as a potential option to replace Russell Wilson.

The Seahawks instead addressed specific needs by selecting edge rusher Boye Mafe from Minnesota with the No. 40 pick and running back Kenneth Walker III from Michigan State at No. 41 on Friday night.

The Seahawks came back in the third round and selected a likely right tackle in Abraham Lucas from Washington State at No.
