The Seahawks need offensive line help, and this is not a good draft class for it. They get aggressive here to go and get a guy that many analysts believe is the best offensive tackle in the class. The Dolphins have multiple needs right now and can afford to drop back. Getting the extra 3rd rd pick is a solid addition for them.

Seattle Seahawks – Jesse Holt
He’s also the best offensive lineman available in the 2017 NFL Draft. Drafting the tackle out of Wisconsin would give an NFL team a solid guy at the left tackle spot for years to come.
“He’s really athletic and he’s really smart. There are a lot of Wisconsin linemen who start in the league because they learn an NFL system and they are taught the right way. He played against Arden Key, Sam Hubbard and Taco Charlton. This guy is battle tested against three future first rounders.” – NFC midwest scout
Staff Reaction:
Trading up to get an offensive lineman in a weak offensive lineman class probably wasn’t necessary, but the Seahawks got their guy and added to an area of concern. – Leigh Oleszczak
