The Seattle Seahawks plunged directly into the deep end of the draft pool on Friday night, making the first big splash by trading with the Tennessee Titans to move all the way up to pick No. 35 overall. From there, they took the dynamic South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori - a player many believed the Seahawks could have easily selected at No.
18 overall in the first round. Instead, Mike Macdonald patiently waited until round two to find the next chess piece for his defense. Emmanwori is going to provide next level versatility to Seattle's secondary, and defense overall.
Three safety packages was a common occurrence with his Ravens defenses, and now it's going to be one we see with the Seahawks. With that in mind, it's always an appropriate time to witness a quick highlight reel for one of Seattle's top draft picks. So sit back, relax, and get excited 12's, because this talented young man is soon going to be making similar plays for the Seahawks.
