While most of the players expected to get drafted in 2020 participated in the NFL combine, there are always a few diamonds in the rough who weren’t invited who end up finding their way onto an NFL roster and having success.
The Seahawks are known for their ability to uncover those hidden gems, and they already have their eye on a big one: Louisiana-Lafayette guard Kevin Dotson, who was considered by many to be the biggest combine snub and who reportedly has a private workout already scheduled with the Seahawks.
Louisiana OG Kevin Dotson is the highest ranked player on my board that wasn't invited to the combine.
He's a popular guy. He has private visits set up with the #Steelers, #Seahawks, #Saints, #Vikings and #Chargers. His Pro Day is April 1st.

Dotson is an imposing six-foot-four, 321 pound figure who is underdeveloped, but projects by many to be a future starter.
The Seahawks have a plethora of young guards, including Phil Haynes, Jordan Simmons and Demetrius Knox – not to mention Ethan Pocic and Jamarco Jones – who can play guard as well.
Adding to the mix can never hurt however, with injuries and cap space a concern for many of the team’s expected starters.
Dotson won’t be a high draft pick, but as a late round flyer or an undrafted signing, he could be a nice developmental project for Mike Solari and the rest of the Seahawks staff.
