Friday Round-Up: Imagining An NFL Without A Draft

A look at what's "out there" for Friday, March 16 about your Seattle Seahawks.

Good afternoon, 12s.

Here's a look at what's "out there" today — Friday, March 16 — about your Seattle Seahawks:

Where Would Top Prospects Land If There Were No Draft?

The NFL draft is a huge part of roster building for every NFL team, but the folks over at TheRinger.com came up with an interesting idea: what if, instead of a draft, every top prospect coming out of college was a free agent? In assigning fits for hypothetical rookie free agents, The Ringer sent two top prospects to Seattle, Iowa cornerback Joshua Jackson and University of Texas offensive tackle Connor Williams. Here's what they said about Jackson:

Joshua Jackson, CB, Iowa: Seattle Seahawks

Jackson didn't test as well at the combine as many thought he might, and his 4.56 40-yard dash time could hurt his stock. But he's still a lengthy corner, and Pete Carroll famously values size in the defensive backfield. With Richard Sherman headed to San Francisco, Jackson could be the perfect first piece for a Seattle team that needs to rebuild its secondary.

Social Post Of The Day

Today's "Social Post of the Day" comes from the Twitter account of Jimmy Graham, who signed with the Green Bay Packers as a free agent this week. Graham offered a heartfelt goodbye and thanks to the Seahawks and their fans.
