With their first of four scheduled selections on day three of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Seahawks went in a curious selection. With two receiving threat tight ends on the roster, in Jacob Hollister and Greg Olsen, an all-around starter in Will Dissly, plus do-it-all veteran Luke Willson, tight end seemingly wasn’t a big need. If one were to be added, a more in-line blocker seemed likely. Instead, Seattle went with a prospect whose skill set is not replicated on their roster.
In Stanford’s Colby Parkinson, a 6-foot-7, 252-pound tight end, the Seahawks acquired the possession-based target they needed.
