2022 NFL draft: Predicting positions the Seahawks will target on Day 3

In a surprise twist, the Seahawks have mostly kept to a script of taking plus athletes at premium positions in the 2022 NFL draft. Of course they also used a second-round choice on a running back, but if you were shocked by that then you should take what coach Pete Carroll says more literally. This team loves to run the rock and they’re going to be doing more of it than ever now that the pesky future Hall of Fame quarterback is out of the way.

The good news is they have also hit left and right tackle plus the edge, which were their top-three positional needs heading into the draft if we’re not counting quarterbacks. On that front, it appears that coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider are not into any of these 2022 signal callers. They passed on multiple chances to draft both Malik Willis and Desmond Ridder, who wound up being taken by the Titans and the Falcons, respectively. Matt Corral has also been picked by the Panthers.

There’s always an outside chance they could roll the dice on Sam Howell or Carson Strong, but we’re going into Day 3 assuming quarterback is not on the menu this year. With that in mind, here are a few other positions fans should probably expect to see Seattle target today.
