Seattle Seahawks Mock Draft: B/R Community Top 100 and 7-Round Results

Trying to predict exactly what the Seattle Seahawks will—or should—do in the 2015 NFL draft is an interesting exercise in prognostication, but when teams start pulling surprises, that's when the real fun begins.

This is why Bleacher Report's 2015 community mock draft looks a heck of a lot different than many of the mocks out there. For the first 100 picks in our mock, each team's selection was made by an individual writer, and some of those selections were quite unexpected.

Obviously, a team's plans can change as players come off or remain on the draft board. This is certainly what happened in the first three rounds of our community mock.

For picks outside the top 100, each team's selections are projected without the influence of other writers.

Without further fanfare, let's unveil the 2015 Seattle Seahawks mock draft, along with the 100 community selections.

Round 2 (63rd Overall)

 Seahawks' Selection: Carl Davis, Defensive Lineman, Iowa

The Seahawks do not possess a first-round pick in this year's draft thanks to the trade for former New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham. Therefore, their first selection comes at the bottom of Round 2.

I originally wanted to go wide receiver with Seattle's first pick, as the team doesn't have a truly dominant wideout on the roster. However, receiver was a popular choice over the first 62 picks, so I decided to go for more value by grabbing Iowa defensive tackle Carl Davis.

At 6'5" and 320 pounds, Davis is a mammoth interior defender whom I think makes an immediate impact as a rotational lineman. Eventually, he could develop into an anchor on Seattle's defensive line.

Davis amassed just 3.5 sacks in four collegiate seasons, which is why he is considered a second-round talent. The talent to be a future star, however, is there.

Bleacher Report Lead Draft Analyst Matt Miller ranked Davis sixth overall among defensive line prospects and had the following to say about the big man:

"

When Carl Davis is on his game, few defensive tackles can compare. Davis dominated at the Senior Bowl, showing an unblockable first step and the quickness to knife through gaps to attack the quarterback. He uses his 34 ⅝-inch arms well to lock out blockers, shed them and then is fast enough to pursue in space. 

"

It was honestly surprising to see Davis still on the board at the end of Round 2, as he is likely a rookie starter on most other teams. The defending NFC champions will gladly take him as a piece in their defensive puzzle.

 *First pick of Round 4.

Seahawks' Selection: Alex Carter, Cornerback, Stanford

Seattle has a need at the cornerback position after losing Byron Maxwell to the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency. However, Stanford product Alex Carter is the type of player who can step right in and ensure the Legion of Boom keeps rocking opposing offenses.

At 6'0" and 196 pounds, Carter has good size for the position to go with adequate speed (4.51-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine). He is an outstanding press defender and has the physicality that the Seahawks love on that side of the football.

Bob Sturm of The Dallas Morning News had this to say about Carter's skill set:

"

Carter is large enough to press cover and get physical with his long arms and also fast enough to run with most receivers. He has a fantastic vertical leap that allows him to really be a tough player to attack in the red zone with his ability to high-point the ball. He is a willing and able tackler who moves well north to go get a bubble screen or a run to the edge and not only gets the guy down, but also can do so with some level of force.

"

The Seahawks already have one Stanford product excelling at the cornerback position in Richard Sherman. Though he may never rise to Sherman's level, Carter has the potential to be another.

Round 4 (112th, 130th and 134th and Overall)

David J. Phillip/Associated Press

Seahawks' Selections: Antwan Goodley (Wide Receiver, Baylor), Markus Golden (Edge-Rusher, Missouri) and Frank Clark (Edge-Rusher, Michigan).

The fourth round is an excellent spot for the Seahawks to start looking at developmental prospects who have the potential to eventually become regular contributors.

Former Baylor receiver Antwan Goodley is one such prospect who could likely earn some early playing time in the passing game. At 5'10" and 209 pounds, he has a running back's build and physicality, which clearly fits Seattle's personality.

Goodley has very good straight-line speed (4.44-second 40 at the combine) and can be used in a variety of roles at the next level.

However, he will have to work on consistency in ball-catching and route running.

Missouri product Markus Golden has the physical tools to develop into a capable pass-rusher at the next level. However, the 6'2", 260-pound defender will likely take some time to be more than a rotational player in Seattle's defense.

Michigan product Frank Clark is another developmental edge rusher who could contribute as a rotational player in the Seattle defense. He finished second with the Wolverines in 2014 with 13.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks.

Round 5 (167th and 170th Overall)

Charlie Riedel/Associated Press

Seahawks' Selections: JaCorey Shepherd (Cornerback, Kansas) and Andy Gallik (Center, Boston College)

Kansas cornerback JaCorey Shepherd is a developmental defensive back I believe can emerge as a regular contributor in the Seattle secondary.

Like Richard Sherman, Shepherd is a converted wide receiver. Also like Sherman, Shepherd's time on that side of the football has translated into exceptional ball skills (15 passes defended and three interceptions in 2014).

"He gets sloppy with his feet and technique, but I think he can play. You don't make that many plays on the ball because of luck. You make that many plays because you have a great feel for it," an unnamed NFC scout told NFL.com.

Seattle can also steal a potential starting center in the fifth round if Boston College's Andy Gallik is still available. The Seahawks sent starter Max Unger to New Orleans as part of the Graham trade, so there is a need.

The 6'2", 306-pound Gallik has the physicality and attitude to produce in a run-oriented offense, though he isn't likely to provide much as a pulling lineman.

Round 6 (181st, 209th and 214th Overall)

Al Goldis/Associated Press

Seahawks' Selections: Titus Davis (Wide Receiver, Central Michigan) Ben Heeney (Linebacker, Kansas) and Mike Hull (Linebacker, Penn State)

Former Central Michigan receiver Titus Davis is another big (6'1", 196 lbs) and physical receiver who fits what the Seahawks like to do on offense.

What Davis lacks in speed (4.51-second 40 at the combine), he makes up for with polished route running. This should give him a chance to work his way onto the playing field early in his career. He produced 980 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2014.

Former Kansas linebacker Ben Heeney is an aggressive inside linebacker with a habit of studying film and looking for weaknesses on opposing defenses. However, he is undersized at just 6'0" and 231 pounds.

Still, Heeney was a productive player in 2014, amassing 127 total tackles and 12.0 tackles for a loss. His willingness to learn, adapt and attack could make him a nice depth player and special-teams contributor for Seattle.

Former Penn State linebacker Mike Hull projects as another depth player worthy of a late-round selection.

Hull isn't incredibly fast (4.68-second 40) but possesses adequate lateral movement (ran a 6.99 second three-cone at the combine) and incredible strength (31 reps of 225 pounds) for the position. He doesn't bring much as a pass-rusher (just 2.0 sacks in 2014) and is likely to remain a backup in the NFL.

Hull's effort on the field, however, fits the Seahawks' identity and he should have a chance to stick if he can emerge as a special teams contributor.

Round 7 (248th Overall)

Seahawks' Selection: Robert Myers, Guard, Tennessee State

The Seahawks do not have a massive need on the offensive line, but there is certainly room for depth on the roster. This is why a taking a flier on a guy like former Tennessee State guard Robert Myers makes sense at the bottom of the draft.

The 6'5", 326-pound Myers has the size to compete at the pro level but is limited as an athlete. The good news is that he is very sound from a technical standpoint.

This means he may be able to step in and serve as a backup at one or both guard positions.

Because of good technique and a solid physical base, Myers does have some upside and may be able to outproduce his draft status.
