Seattle Seahawks Draft: Why Internal Projects surprise 1st round – Seattle Sport

After preparing Byron Murphy II with his first selection of the NFL 2024 project, Seattle Seyhox would not take another defensive supply in the first round this year – or they?

Insider: Why Seattle Seahawks can take up the growing QB in the first round

NFL Network Insider and former league scout Daniel Jeremiah has Seahawks, who takes the defense supply to Michigan Kenneth Grant at No. 18 in his first layout. Jeremiah, which also serves as a voice voice on the radio for Los Angeles charges, explained why he has Grant to go to Seattle in the first round during his weekly conversation with Brock and Salk of Seattle Sport.

“I’ll play it on the guard,” Jeremiah said jokingly. “No, for me it was where you just do knowing… (I was) around the boys in the charger who have connections in Michigan, and the way they talk about Kenneth Grant and what is capable of and the ability that this ability, Who is he will obviously have knowledge there in Seattle to appreciate what he could ultimately be. “

Seahawks head coach Mike McDonald is introduced to a way of thinking in Michigan after spending a season with Wolverines as a protective coordinator under Chargers’s head coach Jim Harbo (one year before Grant arrives on the campus). McDonald was also a member of John Harbo’s employees with Baltimore Ravens before he came to Seattle, which is another factor for why Jeremiah can see Grant to be selected by Seahawks.

“I think there is also that there are some of this Baltimore existence in Seattle, which is: we will not be completely where our need is, we will never go to great players,” Jeremiah said. “And this is what Baltimore has done forever until (the hall of fame leaves) Jonathan a Game of Guard as a rookie. (Two -time Pro Bowl Tight End) Todd Hape was a backup of Shannon Sharpe (another hall of fame). I can continue and continue with) a million of these things. But you don’t give up great players. “

“As much abilities as everyone” in the draft

Grant has been a key part of Michigan’s defense over the last two years and became a full-time starter in 2024. It has been an elected ten selection in each of the last two seasons and the third All-American team in 2024.

NFL.com projects provide a possible “plus starter” and “two -down nose”.

“He has as much abilities as anyone in the draft,” Jeremiah said. “He has not yet collected all this, but there are not many people walking through planet Earth, which are 340 kilograms that can move like that child.”

Grant showed part of his raw power in last year’s national title game against UW Huskies, Bulldozing through the left guard Nate Kalepo to fire the defender Michael Penx, Jr.

Jeremiah noted that Seahawks would choose a grant on the basis of more what they would expect from the line, not his or her season’s season.

“You will not get the first year what you will receive for the third year,” he said. “You prepare it for the third year.”
