2019 NFL Mock Draft: Justin Herbert heads to Giants
By Brad Weiss
The Seattle Seahawks had a lot of change this past offseason, as they revamped not only their roster, but also the coaching staff. During their Week1 matchup against the Denver Broncos, they came together as unit, and almost won a road game in Mile High, although they did lose their star wide receiver along the way.
For the 2018 Seahawks, it could be the second straight year they miss the playoffs, as the NFC is absolutely loaded this season. They do have Russell Wilson, who can win NFL games by himself, but they are going to need to get more help from the skill position guys this year, and the loss of Baldwin is a killer.
When it comes time for the 2019 NFL Draft, there is a good chance they will be picking in the top-10, and they could get one of the better prospects we have seen in a long time. Ed Oliver is all over everybody’s mock drafts early on, and while he certainly could go first overall, if he is available at No. 6, the Seahawks have to bounce.
The Seahawks are at their best when they have an elite defense, and Oliver can get them pointed back in that direction. He has the ability to play all over the defensive line, and with his quickness and strength, Seattle would have monster up front that will be disruptive as a rookie, and an All-Pro down the line.
