2020 NFL Draft: Seattle Seahawks 7-round mock
By Conor Dorney
5th round
player. 844. . CB. Razorbacks . Kamren Curl. 162
For sanity’s sake, let’s just skip the mocking of any cornerbacks to Seattle before round two. Day 3 is the team’s preferred sweet spot for adding talent in the secondary and this year, Arkansas’ Kamren Curl is an intriguing player to watch.
Curl began his career with the Razorbacks at cornerback but switched to strong safety over the past two seasons. He enjoyed his collegiate season in 2019, logging 76 total tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss and two interceptions.
He checks all the boxes (6-foot-1, 206 pounds, 32 5/8″ arm length) that the Seahawks covet in outside defensive back prospects, and could be a nice developmental piece for a Seattle secondary that disappointed for much of last season.
I like Curl’s ball-tracking skills and he’s plenty capable of tackling at the line of scrimmage, something that is crucial to Seattle’s valuation of cornerback prospects. He seems like just the type of project Pete Carroll would love to get his hands on to add depth behind Shaquill Griffin and Tre Flowers.
6th round
811. . LB. Wolverines . Khaleke Hudson. 214. player
Michigan’s Khaleke Hudson played the hybrid VIPER position for the Wolverines and perhaps no position name suits a player more appropriately.
Hudson lined up all over the field and put up excellent production in his senior season, racking up over 100 total tackles. He was a favorite of the coaching staff and has overcome a great deal of adversity in his life to get to this point.
He’s an explosive athlete who can really lay the lumber as a tackler and at the very least, should be an outstanding player on special teams, as evidenced by his five career blocked punts. I think he’s squarely on Seattle’s radar for a Day 3 selection.
