2019 NFL Mock Draft: Odell Beckham trade throws first round into chaos

This would be another best player available scenario with the Seahawks having potentially more pressing needs, but NC State’s Garrett Bradbury might end up being the best offensive lineman in this class when it is all said and done.

Seattle made some moves this offseason to solidify their offensive line by resigning D.J. Fluker and coming to an agreement with Mike Iupati on a contract. Iupati’s contract is only for one year, though, and he’ll turn 32 before the start of next season. Fluker’s deal was for two years, but his NFL career has been up and down; Seattle hopes that some of the highs he hit with them last season will become the norm, but it’s hard to trust it.

Bradbury was a big winner at the combine – not many interior linemen boosted their stock more than he did. He showcased his elite athleticism for his size by running a 4.92 40-yard-dash at 306 pounds, which was the fastest among offensive linemen this year.

He didn’t stop there, either, surpassing 30-inches on his vertical jump, and finishing second in his position group by getting up 34 reps on the bench press. He solidified his standing as a first round pick, and while the Seahawks may have more pressing needs, they’re a team which prides itself on running the football and winning in the trenches. Bradbury helps that cause, and could be the eventual successor to Justin Britt at center once his contract runs out.

Seattle is likely to explore trade-down options as they are currently only armed with four total picks in this draft. I imagine they will be active in looking to move back in the first round, or out of the first round entirely so they can add a couple more picks on day two and three of the draft. This is another spot where a team might look at trading up, or trading back into, the first round in order to select Missouri’s Drew Lock.
