This may quite possibly be the most interesting Seahawks mock draft you’ll see this season, but it wasn’t my intent when I set out trying to project who John Schneider and Pete Carroll will welcome into the fold after the draft wraps up on April 29th. In all, I came up with exactly half of their 8 picks being used on young men who played collegiality in Washington state.
It may not be as far-fetched as it appears. While working through the simulation I quickly noticed a recurring theme: the most interesting (and in most cases logical) players on the board when it was Seattle’s turn were often players with a local connection.
