Despite what people think we need (OL), OLB that can cover out of the backfield is our #1 need IMHO. When we gave up big plays, it was when Bobby Wagner (MLB) and/or KJ Wright (WLB) were injured. The backups just weren't sufficient.
I wonder if Davenport is fast enough to cover RBs and TEs? IIRC, he's about the right size for a LB/DE Tweener.
CBS Sports: 2018 NFL Draft: Seattle Seahawks team needs, draft picks, prospects to watch
Prospects to watch
Hayden Hurst, TE, South Carolina
The tight end class doesn't have three first-round prospects like it did in 2017, but there are plenty of quality mid-round picks who can excel at the next level. Hurst is a seam-stretcher who looks like an athlete who'll test well at the combine, something the front office in Seattle holds in high regard.
Will Richardson, RT, NC State
The 6-foot-6, 300-plus pounder was magnificent in pass protection for the pro-style system at NC State in 2017. His pass-blocking efforts should be the main reason the Seahawks consider him after Round 1.
Sean Welsh, OG, Iowa
Welsh is precisely what you'd expect from an Iowa interior offensive lineman. He's fundamentally sound, impactful as a run-blocker and has a good amount of play strength at the point of attack.
Marcus Davenport, DE, UTSA
The super-sleeper from University of Texas-San Antonio looks like a Seahawks defensive end all the way. He's long, twitchy, and has an array of pass-rushing moves. Don't be surprised if he's gone before Seattle goes on the clock though. Yes, in Round 1.
Joshua Jackson, CB, Iowa
Jackson played more man at Iowa than what Seattle would ask of him, but his tremendous ball-skills and athletic talents make him a prospect the Seahawks will likely love.
