draft class saw the organization bring in nine new players, five of which came on Day 3 of the draft. It is always expected that outside of special circumstances like taking an injured player or a quarterback, Day 1 and 2 picks are expected to make an instant impact in some way. Although the same cannot be said about Day 3 players, many of whom do not make an impact until their sophomore season or later .
It is difficult to envision him making much of an impact as a run defender or on early downs. However in obvious passing situations or on third down he could receive a significant number of snaps. Additionally, something that cannot be discounted is the threat of injuries.
Due to his overall rawness, Woolen’s instant impact for the Seahawks will come in special teams, both as a gunner in punt coverage and as a contain or bullet player in the kickoff coverage game. Woolen’s combination of stack and shed ability, a rapid first step, game breaking speed and stickiness as a tackler will allow him to be an impact gunner for Seattle and could make him one of the better gunners in the entire NFL.
1.) If offensive coordinator Shane Waldron decides to use him as a true gadget player where he can see a few snaps in the backfield or be put in jet sweep or orbit motion prior to the snap. The reasoning for this style of usage for Melton is it would allow him to get in space where he can use his strength, speed and overall athleticism to be a nightmare for defenses.
2.) He could also be an impact returner for all of the reasons listed above as to why he would be a dynamic gadget player for Waldron. According to, Melton only had 11 kickoff returns and 5 punt returns in his college career so it was not something he did much in college. However, the skillset is there for him to become an impactful returner both in the punt and kickoff game.
