Here are my 10 that I'll be watching. All are likely mid-to-late round picks.
LB-Ulysees Gilbert lll, Akron, 6-01/230, (maybe he has the 40 speed needed at LB for the Seahawks?)
LB-Khalil Hodge, Buffalo, 6-1/235 (speed check & can he get off blocks & win assignments?)
LB-Joe Dineen, Jr, Kansas, 6-2/235 (speed check & can he get off blocks & win assignments?)
LB-Justin Hollins, Oregon, 6-5/242 (Does he have potential to be a Wagner replacement one day at MLB?)
CB-Derrick Baity, Jr, Kentucky, 6-3/188 (Has the length, needs to add weight, how does he cover? Speed?)
CB-Jamal Peters, Mississippi St, 6-2/220 (Has the length, can he play? Why do the Seahawks like him?)
CB-Donnie Lewis, Tulane, 6-0/195 (Near the top of 2018 passes defended list, steady & experienced.)
DL-Jordan Brailford, Oklahoma, 6-3/250 (Potential later round DL option?)
DE-Daniel Wise, Kansas, 6-3/290 (Potential later round DL option?)
OG-Dugas O'Shea, Louisiana Tech, 6-5/330 (has desired size, does he get leverage & push?)

It's important to note these measurements can fluctuate. But players in the shrine game are generally day 3/UDFA prospects to begin with. Seattle pretty much wants unique players in this range. Poona is a great example as a guy who was really very short in stature, but his strength and arm length is almost freakish. Two traits that allow him to turn his short profile to a significant advantage in leverage.
One thing that really stands out. There are a ton of really long project OTs in this class. Literally you only usually see maybe two or three 35" arm prospects in the day 2/3 pool in any given class. There are like 6 just in this game alone. It's worth taking a further look at some of these OTs that have elite NFL length. Looks like the project pool in 2019 for offensive tackles is extremely flush.
Might be nice to have Brown/Fant/Jones and 2019 project on roster. That would lessen the potential blow of losing Ifedi after this final contract season. Also prepares team for potential loss of Fant a year after that (2020) or shedding Brown contract in 2021 (age 36 and 11m cap savings).
Also it's worth mentioning that we really don't know exactly what Solari's prototype OL prospect looks like. I kind of went with generalized groupthink type benchmarks that most teams seem to abide. One thing that does seem kind of consistent with Solari is that he kind of likes big strong maulers. Seems like athletic 310 lb. OTs aren't his thing. More like 330+ with good length and strength. But again, it's impossible to know how much input he had both at SF and at NYG.
