They started by signing defensive end Ziggy Ansah, formerly of the Detroit Lions, and then continued Monday with the official announcment on defensive tackle Al Woods, joining the team after spendin the last two seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. This had left some fans wondering what the status of former first round pick Dion Jordan was, and now there is an answer. In short, Jordan is reportedly facing another suspension for yet another violation of league substance abuse rules. If he is indeed suspended, this would be his fourth suspension, with the prior three having already cost him 22 games. According to the report from NFL Insider Tom Pelissero, this suspension it for PEDs (performance enhancing drug) for using Adderall while knowing his therapeutic exemption had expired, and it will cost him ten games. For fans, this helps explain why there hasn’t much Brandon Marshall Color Rush Jersey , if any, news at all regarding his market as a free agent this offseason, in spite of multiple teams still needing help from the position. Whether the Seahawks remain interested in his services going forward is certainly something worth watching, but if Ansah’s surgically repaired shoulder doesn’t hold up as well as the Hawks hope, Jordan could become an option down the stretch once his suspension is over.

Haffey/Getty ImagesJust four picks away from their final selection on Friday evening, the Seattle Seahawks struck a deal with the Vikings to slide up to 88th overall, sending Minnesota picks 92 and 159 (and receiving 209, as well). With the 88th pick, the Seahawks selected Utah linebacker Cody Barton Cortez Kennedy Color Rush Jersey , the second Utes defender drafted by Seattle on day two. Athletic FitI’ve previously written about the lack of Seahawk-y linebackers available in the 2019 NFL Draft, and Barton is no different. He isn’t as explosive as Seattle likes—34th percentile vertical and 47th percentile broad jump—but he does possess great quickness. Barton’s 82nd percentile three cone is great, as is his 96th percentile short shuttle. Though he doesn’t meet the Seahawks’ thresholds across the board, he’s a nice athlete. Where Barton WinsBarton wins where a modern linebacker should win: With outstanding range across and down the field, and the ability to finish when he gets to the ball (Barton had the lowest missed tackle percentage in the Pac-12 in 2018). Consistently in the right spots, Barton is simply a steady presence at the second level. Where Barton LosesA former safety and just 237 pounds (fine for a modern linebacker), Barton loses in traffic and in between the tackles. If Barton can be kept clean and off the line of scrimmage, he has a chance to be a really nice defender for Seattle. If he is asked to fill lanes and sort through traffic, he could be washed out of plays with ease. Year One RoleThough things could change for Barton, if K.J. Wright again struggles with injuries and Mychal Kendricks does go to prison, currently he figures to be a special teamer as a rookie. Barton has the athletic profile that would suggest he’ll thrive in that role. Best Case ScenarioSideline-to-sideline range, and the ability to carry running backs and tight ends down the field Shaun Alexander Color Rush Jersey , Barton has the skill set of a modern linebacker. Should the Seahawks be looking for a new running mate for Bobby Wagner in 2020, Barton could step in and offer Seattle two do it all defenders at the second level. Worst Case ScenarioSimilar to his college teammate Marquise Blair, Barton’s profile would suggest at the worst, he’ll be a strong special teams player. Certainly they’ll be hoping for an eventual starter as a third round selection, but Barton will at least carve out a role as early as year one in the third phase. My TakeThe Seahawks needed to add another linebacker through the draft, and the lack of players who fit their mold was going to make it difficult. Even still, they added a prospect who has the skill set of a linebacker who can play regularly in the modern NFL. Perhaps it was a reach, but Barton is a prospect worth feeling good about. |
