I would love to see this guy in an investor's meeting. Enforcer.

I hope the keep him at DT. He has JJ Watt size and athleticism. He would be a great 3T. Add 15-20 pounds and he's a monster of a NT.

My favorite pick of the draft.

He'll be incredibly frustrating, just like Sweezy was those first couple of seasons, but when he gets Cable's system down he'll be a top 10 guard.

 

[Hasselbeck]

Worth noting, JR Sweezy is a FA in 2016.

Yep, but man he would be nice to keep. Elite athlete with a nasty streak that essentially just ended his Jr. season as a guard; Dielman was a DT convert that didn't even get a start until his 3rd season.

An eventual Soko-Glow-Sweezy interior is so nasty and athletic.

Agree. Hope we can fit Sweezy into the re-signings. Would honestly much rather have him than Okung

I sincerely hope so too, but where and when will he get his chance to start? Im assuming he will be competing with Glowinski at left guard, who im guessing has an advantage with more experience

I will bet if he is intelligent he will be worked at Center as well.

A bit of a catch-22. He won't have to be thrust into the starting lineup so early in his development like Sweezy was, conversely though , those early bumps for Sweezy were probably invaluable in the long run. Looking back though, what a terrible look for John Moffitt to allow that door to even be opened.

He will red shirt. IR, not PS. Too many other teams raid our PS now for that.

 

[DavidSeven]

Typical SPARQ hero pick for Seattle. Probably impossible to project how he'll do at this point. If he converts, he won't be any good his first and maybe second year. That being said, I prefer that they take these types in the 6th-7th as opposed to the early and mid rounds, so I'm good with it.

Love it. Back to our roots

 

[Blitzhawk]

I love how our FO says to hell with these pre-made players.....we are going to just build our own. :thirishdrinkers:

 

[FortWorthSeahawk]

Pete just said day one they're throwing him at center. Interesting.

Well, as a former nose tackle, he's got plenty of experience and knowledge on how centers block, and what nose tackles do to get by them. That could be a big plus.

The Seahawks have selected DT-to-OG convert Kristjan Sokoli, Buffalo, with the 214th overall pick. Sokoli is the NFL's first 4 sigma athlete by SPARQ, ranking as the best athlete in the class and entire NFL.

This is awesome, guys. We're living in the future.

:shock:

 

[MrThortan]

Very intrigued about him being at center.
