Seahawks Strengthen Secondary with Julian Neal

0:00On April 25th, Seahawks keep stacking their secondary, grabbing cornerback Julian Neal in the third round, 99th overall. They traded back three spots from 96 with the Pittsburgh Steelers to snag him, right after taking safety, Bud Clark at 64 in the second, and running back to Darian Price at 32 in the first. They also flipped that trade into an extra pick, number 216 in the sixth round, showing they're playing smart without rushing their spots. Fans and analysts see this as a direct fix for holes left by free agency losses, beefing up a defense that needs depth now more than ever heading into. Training camp. Neal's got the tools from his Arkansas days with 55 tackles, 10 pass breakups, and two picks last year, plus a solid 6 foot 2-2, 100 pound frame that stands out. Along with that competition from guys like Noah Igbenihim and Nea Maye Pritchett, this move gives coach Mike McDonald fresh talent to mold into.
