The 2022 NFL draft begins Thursday evening in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Seattle Seahawks head into this year’s draft with major needs at several critical positions. In the wake of the trade sending former franchise quarterback Russell Wilson to the Broncos, this team will most-likely be looking to establish a different identity offensively, one more in line with coach Pete Carroll’s ideas about how football games can and should be won.
Seattle should at least take a chance on one of the top QB prospects in this class. However, no matter who winds up starting Week 1 – be it Geno Smith, Drew Lock or somebody else, we’re willing to bet Shane Waldron’s offense will be more run-heavy.
With that in mind, we went into our final seven-round mock draft of the year with a clear goal of reaching that ultimate pinnacle of competing in modern professional football by firmly establishing the run.
