Bradlee Anae, EDGE, Utah
Seattle’s biggest area of need is on the defensive line, even if they are able to bring one or both of Jadeveon Clowney and Jarran Reed back next season.
Unfortunately, unlike last year, EDGE rushers are much harder to find in this draft class, particularly in the first few rounds.
That’s what makes Utah defensive end Bradlee Anae appealing. He’s likely a third or fourth round guy, depending how the combine goes, and could immediately contribute for the Seahawks in 2020.
Anae is a high-motor rusher with good technique and the ability to contribute as a pass rusher and run defender.
There are some concerns about his overall athleticism, as well as his flexibility and footwork – all things that can be corrected in time.
In a draft that lacks elite EDGE pieces, snagging Anae in the middle rounds – if possible – would be a great get for this Seattle defense.
