Seahawks quick reaction NFL Draft grades: Jordyn Brooks

The Seahawks, for once, did not trade back down or out of the first round of an NFL draft. Still, they pulled a surprise and chose linebacker Jordyn Brooks from Texas Tech. The question isn’t whether Brooks is a good player, he is. But does he fit a position of need for Seattle?

Seattle has a recent history of overthinking their first round picks. L.J. Collier in 2019 has been a bust so far. Rashaad Penny was the first pick in 2018 and he has been inconsistent. But Brooks? He is not a pass rusher by any means.
