3 players Rams should fear Seahawks selecting at No. 21 in 2019 NFL Draft
By Dan Parzych
3. T.J. Hockenson
From 2015-17, Wilson was fortunate enough to have one of the most reliable pass-catching tight ends in the NFL with Jimmy Graham, and watching him sign with the Green Bay Packers last offseason left a void on offense for the Seahawks.
Even if some football fans believe that Graham is nowhere near the same kind of level as a few years ago after watching how things played out with the Packers in 2017, this still doesn’t help Seattle with their own issues at the position.
Does this mean the Seahawks could go with a tight end early on in the draft during the first round? It may sound crazy to consider T.J. Hockenson as early as No. 21, but also the Iowa product is arguably the best player at the position from this year’s class for a reason.
Not only has Hockenson received heavy praise for his pass-catching skills, but most importantly, the tight end is great at blocking as well.
After the surprise success of the Seahawks in the ground game last season, just imagine what the addition of Hockenson could do for this offense, and most importantly for Seattle, make things more difficult for Los Angeles whenever they happen to face each other.
