The Seahawks have needs in the 2019 NFL Draft. And one position in particular might get extra special attention.

The Seahawks have just four picks in April’s NFL Draft. 12s all know this will change. There is no way that John Schneider and Pete Carroll do not pick up more picks. Seattle currently holds the 21st overall pick in the first round. That will change, too. The Seahawks likely will trade down out of the first round.

Seattle always trades their first pick. In fact, if they didn’t trade their first choice there would be actual news. Therefore, you see, doing a mock draft based on the picks that the Seahawks have in January is a silly thing to do. So, you’re welcome for me doing this ridiculous thing.

But Seattle is in need of some high-end talent at certain positions. The most glaring need is at defensive end. Seattle needs a pass rusher to go with Frank Clark. I realize Clark is a free agent but there is no way he leaves the Seahawks. He will either get the franchise tag or, better yet, be extended for several more seasons.

Beyond defensive end, Seattle’s needs are a lot less. Seattle would like to get a good wide receiver, maybe a great safety, offensive line depth and help at defensive tackle. John Schneider chose a running back – Rashaad Penny – in last year’s first round even though running back did not seem an obvious need. Really, anything can happen in a Seattle draft. Here’s my best (and likely wrong) guesses at who Seattle takes this year.
