2022 NFL Draft: Scouting report on Seahawks second-round pick Boye Mafe

With the 40th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft the Seattle Seahawks selected edge rusher Boye Mafe out of Minnesota. Outside of tackle, which was addressed Thursday and Friday with the selections of Charles Cross and Abe Lucas, there’s an argument to be made that edge is Seattle’s most pressing need. The team’s leading sack-getter in 2021, Carlos Dunlap, was released and remains unsigned, while Seattle’s quarterback pressures leader from last season, Rasheem Green, is a free agent. Darrell Taylor is coming off a strong season in which he totaled 6.5 sacks, 22 pressures and 7 hurries.
