Seattle Seahawks. Curtis Weaver. 27. player. 36. . Edge

The Seahawks made it all the way to the Divisional Round this season, which was pretty surprising considering the expectations heading into the season. Still, any team with Russell Wilson under center is going to have a better chance than not of winning.

Looking at the roster, the Seahawks did a nice job bringing in Jadeveon Clowney via trade, but he is an unrestricted free agent entering the 2020 offseason. That means the Seahawks may have to have a new plan if he decides to sign elsewhere, and they get a great replacement here at No. 27 overall.

Boise State has produced its fair share of talented players in the past, but a guy like Curtis Weaver is going to have an immediate impact at the NFL level. This is someone who can get after the quarterback, but is also good against the run. On the Seahawks, he would slide right into the starting lineup.

Baltimore Ravens. Patrick Queen. 28. player. 26. . Linebacker

The Ravens went into the playoffs as the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC, but unfortunately for them, their season once again ended in their first playoff game in front of the home fans. A year after losing to the Los Angeles Chargers in the Wild Card Round, the Ravens were upended by the Tennessee Titans in the Divisional Round, and will now head to the offseason looking to fill the holes on their roster.

One area of concern for this Ravens team comes on defense, where they are still looking for a quality middle linebacker. LSU’s Patrick Queen is widely considered one of the two best at this position in the class, and the Ravens could land him late in the first round.

Baltimore has been looking for C.J. Mosley’s replacement since he decided to sign with the New York Jets in free agency, and they get their guy here at No. 28 overall. Queen is as solid a middle linebacker prospect as this draft class has to offer, and on an already loaded Ravens defense, he could be the final piece of the puzzle.
