Jacob Breeland, Tight End, Oregon
The Seahawks have a major depth issue at tight end, and that’s even if Will Dissly remains healthy in 2020 – something he has yet to do in his brief NFL career.
Luke Willson and George Fant are both set to hit free agency, which could leave the team without either of their blocking tight ends.
That leaves Dissly, who has played 10 games in two years and suffered a pair of season-ending injuries, and Jacob Hollister – who showed flashes of excellence but is still very raw and not much of a blocker.
Seattle is expected to address these depth concerns via the draft, and Oregon tight end Jacob Breeland could be the right fit. Breeland’s production was hampered by a leg injury, which could lower his draft stock into the fifth or sixth round range and make him a project for Pete Carroll and company.
Breeland has been asked to do a lot of in-line blocking in his collegiate career, another reason he would be a good fit in Seattle, and his size (six-foot-five, 250) and big catch radius make him an appealing No. 2 tight end and red zone threat at the next level.
