36. . Edge. Seattle Seahawks. Yetur Gross-Matos. 27. player

The Seattle Seahawks made a trade prior to the season, acquiring Houston Texans edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney, a former No. 1 overall selection. While Clowney played well for the Seahawks this past season, he is not likely to re-sign with the team for the 2020 campaign, leaving them with a hole at the position.

With the No. 27 overall pick in the first round, the Seahawks may be able to fill that void, as Penn State’s Yetur Gross-Matos is still available in this mock draft. This is a kid who can flat out get after the quarterback, plays the game at a high level, and in Seattle, he could be their next big pass rusher.

Seattle was able to make it to the Divisional Round this past season thanks to another solid year from Russell Wilson, who is still one of the best in the game. If they can shore up their issues on both sides of the ball, they should be in good shape, but coming out of a very tough NFC West is going to be a challenge.

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

The Baltimore Ravens were the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC this past season thanks to an MVP season from quarterback Lamar Jackson. Unfortunately for the Ravens, they once again were a one-and-done in the playoffs, as the defense really let them down in an upset loss to the Tennessee Titans at home.

As we enter the offseason, the Ravens have to do something to address their linebacker group, and they do so with the No. 28 overall pick this April. Patrick Queen from LSU has the talent to be a do-everything linebacker at the NFL level, and the Ravens have been looking for someone to  take the place of C.J. Mosley since he left for the New York Jets.

With Jackson under center, this is a Ravens team that is going to be good for a very long time, and now they just have to put the finishing pieces in the puzzle. Jackson has lost two straight playoff games, so he will have to shake that moving forward, but he certainly has the arm, and legs to do just that this upcoming season.
