Curtis Weaver, EDGE, Boise State
One of the more surprising fallers on the first few days of the NFL draft was Boise State’s Curtis Weaver.
Often mocked as a late-first or early-second round pick, Weaver did not get taken in the first three rounds, a particular surprise considering the lack of talented pass rushers available in this draft.
While Weaver is certainly a candidate to go early in the fourth round, possibly before Seattle picks at No. 133 overall, he would be an outstanding grab if he is still available for the Seahawks.
Weaver stands six-foot-three and weighs 265 pounds, making him the prototypical build for a five-tech in Carroll’s defense. He has plus technique and has shown great flashes of defending the run, but he does have some rawness to his game that may prohibit him from being a big time contributor right away.
That may be what has hampered his draft stock, but could make him an appealing target for a Seattle squad that has done a lot of drafting for the future so far this year.
