ESPN's Matt Miller predicts that the Seattle Seahawks may select Washington Huskies tackle Troy Fautanu in the upcoming NFL Draft. This would be a departure from their usual tendency of not drafting guards early. With limited picks, the Seahawks are on the clock at No. 81.
We are t-minus one month until the NFL Draft in Detroit. The Seattle Seahawks currently have seven picks, including a double dose of fourth- and sixth-round picks. Most mock draft s tend to top out at two or three rounds, but ESPN’s Matt Miller has done the full 257-pick gamut. As is the theme for many other mocks, Miller believes the Seahawks go for Washington Huskies tackle (turned guard in the pros) Troy Fautanu at No. 16.
From beyond the paywall: John Schneider has said that guards are “overdrafted” and “overpaid.” Seattle has never drafted a guard this high under Schneider—they didn’t intend to play James Carpenter at guard when he was a rookie—so this would be as big a tendency breaker as drafting Devon Witherspoon after previously not taking a cornerback before the third round. Without a second-round pick and having dealt one of their third-round choices to the Washington Commanders in the Sam Howell trade, the Seahawks are on the clock next at No. 8
