27. Seattle Seahawks
Jordyn Brooks | LB | Texas Tech
The Seahawks always know how to keep us all guessing, but usually, it’s by trading out of the first round entirely. Recent surprise picks like Rashaad Penny and L.J. Collier should have tipped us off that a selection like this could be coming.
Brooks is a solid player, but this is about a full round sooner than I would have taken him. The Seahawks have bigger needs elsewhere on both sides of the ball, and there were plenty of worthy prospects at any number of those positions.
If they wanted a linebacker, LSU’s Patrick Queen would have been the better value. Brooks has promise, for sure, but this was too early.
