2023 NFL draft: Utah OL Braeden Daniels has top-30 visit with Seahawks

Daniels’ best selling point is that he has experience lining up all over the place.

The Seahawks are doing their due diligence on their preferred prospects ahead of the 2023 NFL draft. The latest news is that they will be hosting Utah offensive lineman Braeden Daniels for an official top-30 visit, according to Justin Melo at the Draft Network.

Daniels’ best selling point is that he has experience lining up all over the place, having started at least 11 games each at left guard, right tackle and left tackle for the Utes. That kind of versatility is always a premium for teams that need depth at multiple spots up front. Daniels has also been stout in pass protection, allowing only five sacks in almost 1,400 pass-blocking snaps, according to Pro Football Focus.

At the Scouting Combine, Daniels checked in at 6-foot-4, 294 pounds with 33″ arms and 9.375″ hands. He tested well athletically, posting a 40-yard dash time just under five seconds, plus a 30.5″ vertical.

Here’s a look at the tape.
