The Seattle Seahawks are rebuilding... their defensive front, that is.
The biggest factor going against the odds of Kancey becoming a Seahawk may be his size, but his talent is obvious. He landed at 26th overall in Brugler’s Top 100, and third behind Jalen Carter and Clemson’s Bryan Bresee among interior defensive linemen. Here is Brugler’s summary on Kancey:
A three-year starter at Pittsburgh, Kancey was a 3-technique tackle in head coach Pat Narduzzi’s 4-3 base scheme, lining up everywhere from nose to the edge. After putting his name on the NFL radar in 2021, he led all FBS defensive tackles in tackles for loss in 2022 and became the school’s first unanimous All-American since Aaron Donald.
Baumgardner has the Seahawks going offense with their next couple picks and selecting interior lineman Steve Avila out ofand Tennessee wide receiver Cedric Tillman at 37 and 52, respectively. Wisconsin linebacker Nick Herbig rounds out the mock, as the Seahawks return to defense in the third round with the 83rd overall pick.
Brugler lists Avila as his third overall guard prospect but notes his capability to slide over to center as a pro, saying that “he plays with a strong base to anchor and control at either guard or center. He fits both zone and gap schemes and should be an immediate starter as an NFL rookie.” Cedric Tillman may not be the answer at receiver that some of us were hoping for, but his size could be a good compliment to Metcalf and Lockett.
So there you have it. In my opinion, this is one of the more interesting mock drafts for the Seahawks that I have seen as of late, particularly with regard to the Kancey pick. The team certainly would address some needs with these picks, but there would still be some question marks, to be sure. They still needs help at nose tackle, and their situation at off-ball linebacker is less than ideal.
