Seattle Seahawks Mock Draft: Updated Day 3 Projections

The first two days of the 2015 NFL draft are in the books. Like every other team in the league, the Seattle Seahawks will try to close things out by picking up some players who can contribute this season and beyond.

The Seahawks didn't own a first-round selection because it was traded away as part of the Jimmy Graham deal. However, general manager John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll managed to fill a couple of holes on Day 2.

Former Michigan pass-rusher Frank Clark should help provide depth on the defensive front. Former Kansas State wide receiver Tyler Lockett should bolster the passing game.

Grabbing Lockett required a trade that sent four picks to the Washington Redskins. With so few holes on the roster to fill, however, it was worth it.

"

TRADE! Seahawks get #Pick69 (R3)... Redskins get: #Pick95 (R3) #Pick112 (R4) #Pick167 (R5) #Pick181 (R6) #SeahawksDraft #NFLDraft

— Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks) May 2, 2015"

This leaves Seattle with six picks in the final four rounds, where adding offensive line help and defensive depth should be priorities.

With all of this in mind, let's take a look at what the final four rounds of the 2015 NFL draft might look like for the Seahawks.

Round 4 (130th and 134th Overall)

No. 130 Antwan Goodley, WR, Baylor

Even though the Seahawks grabbed Lockett at the top of Round 3, doubling up on receivers shouldn't be off the table.

Antwan Goodley would be a solid target and should be a realistic option in Round 4. At 5'10" and 209 pounds, he possesses the build and attitude of a running back. This should fit well with Seattle's toughness.

Goodley has good straight-line speed (4.44-second 40 at the combine), though he does lack consistency in his route running. 

No. 134: B.J. Finney, C, Kansas State

I previously had this pick as former Michigan defensive end Frank Clark, but the Seahawks clearly loved him enough to snatch him in the second round.

Since the Seahawks lost starting center Max Unger in the Graham trade and have yet to draft a replacement, this should be a good time to grab one.

Kansas State's B.J. Finney has the size (6'4", 318 lbs.) to serve in a run-based offense. He doesn't have a ton of upside, but he's a pro-ready prospect who has the potential to emerge as a rookie starter.

"What you see is what you get," an anonymous NFC offensive line coach said of Finney, per NFL.com's Lance Zierlein. "Plays hard and is reliable. I don't know if he's great at any one thing, but he's solid at most of them."

Round 5 (170th Overall)

JaCorey Shepherd, CB, Kansas

Kansas cornerback JaCorey Shepherd is a defensive back who can provide depth and serve as injury insurance in the Seattle secondary.

Like Richard Sherman before him, Shepherd began his collegiate career as a wide receiver. This has helped Shepherd develop above-average vision and solid ball skills—15 passes defended and three interceptions in 2014.

"He gets sloppy with his feet and technique, but I think he can play," an unnamed NFC scout told Zierlein. "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."

Due to the physical nature of the Seattle defense, depth is important on that side of the ball, and Shepherd can help provide it.

Round 6 (209th and 214th Overall)

No. 209: Ben Heeney, Linebacker, Kansas

Since depth is important on the defensive side of the ball for the Seahawks, it can't possibly hurt to grab some extra defenders in the late rounds.

Kansas' Ben Heeney is a high-motor inside linebacker with solid vision and a desire to get to the football. However, he is an undersized product at just 6'0" and 231 pounds.

Heeney was a productive player in 2014, racking up 127 total tackles and 12 tackles for a loss. His best chance of making the roster will likely be as a special teams contributor, at least initially.

No. 214: Mike Hull, Linebacker, Penn State

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

Hull doesn't have elite speed (4.68-second 40). He has good football instincts but doesn't bring much to the table as a pass-rusher. Like Heeney, Hull would likely begin his Seattle career as a special teams player.

However, he does possess the aggressive and physical attitude needed to find a home on the defense.

Round 7 (248th Overall)

Bobby Hart, OG, Florida State

Former Florida State guard Bobby Hart is the type of developmental lineman prospect that a team like the Seahawks can afford to gamble on late in the draft.

At 6'5" and 329 pounds, he is a large-bodied guard with enough power and push in his lower body to force movement in the running game. He isn't a tremendous pass protector by any means, but as a run-blocking guard, he has potential.

His ability to punch holes in short areas would fit in nicely with Seattle's rushing attack.
