Seahawks wrap up 8
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — There was an overwhelming theme that came with each of the eight picks the Seattle Seahawks made in the first draft in the new era with Mike Macdonald as head coach.
Filling needs? Seattle absolutely did that, especially adding depth on the offensive line and the secondary, and grabbed possibly the best defensive player in the draft in defensive tackle Byron Murphy II in the first round.
More so, the Seahawks ended up with a draft class that has significant experience playing football in college. Seattle’s draft class of eight selections had a combined 285 starts during their college careers. Five players had 40 or more starts. Guard Christian Haynes, drafted in the third round, started 49 games at UConn. Sixth-round offensive lineman Sataoa Laumea out of Utah started 44 games for the Utes and fourth-round linebacker Tyrice Knight from UTEP started 43 games.
