Just In: Seahawks add two defensive standouts in latest mock draf
In a recent mock draft by ESPN’s Matt Miller, the Seattle Seahawks are projected to select Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell with the 18th overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. Campbell, a first-team All-SEC player in 2024, recorded 117 tackles, five sacks, two forced fumbles, and one interception last season. He is praised for his athleticism and versatility as both a pass rusher and coverage linebacker. However, some analysts question this choice, suggesting that the Seahawks might better address their needs by focusing on the offensive or defensive line in the first round.
In another mock draft by Daniel Jeremiah, the Seahawks are projected to select Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant at No. 18. Grant, part of Michigan’s 2023 national championship team and honored as an All-American third-team, could pair well with Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy II on Seattle’s interior defense. Grant is noted for his massive size and impressive physical attributes, although he must develop his pass-rushing skills.
These projections highlight the Seahawks’ potential focus on bolstering their defense in the upcoming draft, though opinions vary on the best approach to address the team’s needs.
