Seattle opts for experience over projects in draft class

SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks were not in search of projects in this year's NFL draft. That might have to do with the changes to this offseason made necessary by the coronavirus pandemic.

Known for gambling on players with potential to develop, the Seahawks appeared to seek a bit more certainty this time around, focusing less on the quantity of selections and more on players who can be successful contributors without major makeovers.

They believe first-rounder Jordyn Brooks can contribute at linebacker right away. They think pass-rushder Darrell Taylor can address their biggest weakness from last season.
