This week is ramping up to be a big one for the NFL, with a potential new collective bargaining agreement in the hands of the players to vote on by Saturday at the deadline.
The legal tampering period starts next week, just days ahead of the new league year and the official start of free agency, which could shake things up for a few teams ahead of the NFL draft in April.
Most analysts tightened up their mocks following the scouting combine in Indianapolis and are giving it another shot before free agency kicks off on March 18.
USA TODAY’s Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz is now projecting the Seahawks will select defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos out of Penn State with the No. 27 overall pick.
Mock draft!

“Though far from a finished product, Gross-Matos is a tantalizing project for a Seahawks defense desperate for some speed off the edge,” Middlehurst-Schwartz notes.
Seattle is always looking to beef up the defensive line but also must decide whether or not to re-sign some key players (think Jadeveon Clowney and Jarran Reed) to the roster or let them test the free-agent market ahead of the draft.
