The Seattle Seahawks can make Russell Wilson’s life much easier by getting it right with a few late-round NFL Draft steals like these.

The Seahawks aren’t set up to have a ton of involvement in the 2021 NFL Draft, but that doesn’t mean their picks won’t matter.

With selections in the second, fourth and seventh rounds only, it’s even more important for Seattle to get value where they can.

So which late-rounders could give Russell Wilson and the offense a surprise boost?

Seattle Seahawks NFL Draft Rumors: Late round steals

Offensive linemen

The Seahawks look pretty set on the offensive line for 2021. That’s the perfect reason to take a chance on a late-round prospect who could be built up into a starter eventually.

The options are all over the place.

Iowa’s Alaric Jackson will almost certainly be available on Day 3, despite being a three-year starter on the Hawkeye’s stout offensive line. He was an All-Big Ten first-team selection in 2020. The trouble is, he didn’t quite reach the heights of teammates like Tristan Wirfs. Hence being overlooked in the draft.

Kentucky’s Landon Young was a former top recruit whose potential could still be reached in the NFL.

Adrian Ealy from Oklahoma is another prospect from a strong offensive line. If he’s available on Day 3, he’d be well worth snatching up.
