12th Man Rising

If recent years are any indication, there will be about 14,321 mock drafts focused exclusively on the Seattle Seahawks between the end of the regular season and the actual one draft that matters in late April. This will be my first addition to that total. There will be more. I should say this is my first formal, meaningful mock. Like thousands of other fans, I’ve been toying with scenarios and prospects – projecting what it might look like to have Cam Ward handing off to Ashton Jeanty next year while throwing seams to Colston Loveland. All, naturally, in action green and college navy. But now that the season has ended, we have a lot more information and we can get a little bit more realistic in our projections. We know, for instance, the draft position that John Schneider will have to work with. We have our most complete evaluation of the roster. We know what young or new players still have room to grow and which older players may be headed for an exit. We know about health issues. We are beginning to get a sense of what other franchises may be planning.
