Seahawks Trade Up And Grab Darrell Taylor
5 years agoThe Seattle Seahawks traded up with the New York Jets to get the 48th pick in exchange for the 59th and 101st picks, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. With that selection, Seattle took defensive end Darrell Taylor out of Tennessee in an attempt to bolster their pass rush. Taylor proved to be a capable pass-rusher in Tennessee, accumulating 46 tackles and 8.5 sacks in 13 games during the 2019 season. Though his explosiveness and agility have come in spurts, Taylor could eventually ease his way into meaningful playing time alongside fellow pass-rusher Bruce Irvin. Seattle had the second-fewest sacks in the NFL in 2019 and could lose Jadeveon Clowney in free agency, so they've focused their attention on the defensive line so far in this draft.
