Seahawks' Draft Focus: Kilgore, Ponds, Morris

0:00On April 8th, Seattle Seahawks got just 4 picks in an upcoming NFL draft, but GM John Schneider and his crew are grinding like they had double. That last year, their eyeing spots hit hard by free agency losses. Running back, cornerback, safety, and edge rusher make up most of their pre-draft chats. Team scout everyone from top talents to undrafted sleepers, and Seattle's no different with picks spread across all three days. Public records show formal meetings, but plenty happens off the radar, and not every talk seals the deal. Fans are buzzing about three standouts they've met. Jaylon Kilgore, a 6 foot 1, 210 pound safety from South Carolina with. 4.4 speed and elite tackling chops. He's versatile, played everywhere, including the slot and even edge, but fitting him right without forcing a superstar mold is key. Then there's D'Angelo Ponds, Indiana cornerback with linebacker grit and a 42 inch vertical pure athleticism. His size might get tested early in the pros, so coaches want to know if he's got the fire to push through.

1:03Michael Morris, Georgia Guard, and their loan offensive line interview, looks like a day 2 prototype on paper. Massive frame, solid agility. But scouts. Knit pick his hand placement and footwork. Seattle's probing his drive to see if he can polish up and lock down that right guard question mark. As the draft nears, these con bows could shape how Schneider maneuvers, turning needs into steels that rebuild the squat strong.
