Multiple NFL media members have mocked three different Alabama players to the NFC North’s Seattle Seahawks’ with their No. 18 overall pick.
Those three Crimson Tide prospects are Tyler Booker, Jihaad Campbell Jalen Milroe. The four media writers who made these projections for the Seattle franchise are CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso, Fox Sports’ Jason McIntyre, The Ringer’s, Danny Kelly and SBNation’s Joseph Acosta.
Booker received the most attention by writers out of the three Alabama products, having being mocked twice to the Seahawks’ by Trapasso of CBS Sports and Kelly of The Ringer.
“Tyler Booker is an NFL-ready guard who’d bolster the Seahawks’ run-game woes from 2024,” Trapasso said.
“The Seahawks desperately need help along the interior offensive line, so while this may be generally considered a little bit high to take a guard, I doubt many Seahawks fans will be hand-wringing about positional value when Booker comes in and starts from day one,” Kelly said. “The Alabama standout is a road grader who plays with power in the run game, clearing out lanes and steamrolling defensive linemen. He should help boost Seattle’s anemic run game and give Geno Smith more workable pockets for the passing game.”
Milroe was mocked to Seattle by McIntyre of Fox Sports as a possible player in play for Seahawks’ day 1 pick.
“Sticking with this projection, which is where I had Milroe in my earlier draft,” McIntyre said. “I don’t see another QB sneaking into the first round. Let’s see how the process goes for Jaxson Dart.”
Campbell also received consideration by Acosta of SBNation as a rising candidate to be selected by Seattle with their first-round selection as well.
“Freak linebackers who can rush the passer and be your Tampa 2 dropper? Sign me up!,” Acosta said. “Campbell in Mike Macdonald’s defense would be a perfect fit.”
Of course, these are Seattle mock draft suggestions posted by the teams social media department but it will be intriguing to see where each of the three Alabama starters land as we draw closer to April.
