Round 2, Pick 59: Michael Pittman, Jr, WR, USC
(Note: This pick was made prior to the Phillip Dorsett signing)
If you read my previous mock draft, or nearly any of my draft analysis, you know I’m a fan of Michael Pittman in the second round for the Seahawks.
What’s not to love? Pittman stands six-foot-four and a hearty 219 pounds with a massive catch radius and elite hands. He has above-average speed as well, making him a true weapon and a potentially elite possession receiver at the next level.
The Seahawks are looking at David Moore and Malik Turner (and now Dorsett) competing for their No. 3 receiver spot, and with a deep draft of receivers and little on the open market, it makes a ton of sense for them to use their cap space elsewhere and draft a player like Pittman in the second round.
