At the 2018 East-West Shrine Game Ed Dickson Color Rush Jersey , Texas’s Poona Ford turned a strong performance into an invitation to the Senior Bowl on the following weekend. Though Ford was mindbogglingly excluded from the Scouting Combine and ultimately went undrafted, the player Ford showed himself to be in Tampa Bay showed up for the Seahawks in 2018. On the opposite sideline during the 2018 Shrine Game, a safety from Oklahoma State named Tre Flowers showed off his tremendous size and length for the East Team. In total, nine players from last year’s game were connected to Seattle between then and training camp—whether it was a pre-draft workout, signing with the team as a UDFA or starting 15 games, like Flowers did as a rookie. Though the college all-star circuit is already under way, the Shrine Game truly kicks off the lead up to the draft. We’ll start off the draft coverage here at Field Gulls with my watch list for the 2019 East-West Shrine Game. Devine Ozigbo, RB (5-foot-10, 219 pounds)Player Summary: Some running backs are just easy to identify as Pete Carroll’s type. Ozigbo is that type. The former Cornhusker runs incredibly hard and finishes with the kind of physicality Carroll craves. Of course, with Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny on the roster, there isn’t a huge need for running back. However, last year the Seahawks spent a considerable amount of time scouting pass-catching, satellite backs, such as Ito Smith. Though Ozigbo isn’t that player, he is extremely explosive (Rotoworld’s Josh Norris likened him to Matt Breida, a 94th percentile athlete). Ozigbo would be a like-for-like replacement for Mike Davis, who is a free agent. Davis was shoehorned into the third down role in 2018, and performed admirably. Ozigbo would provide the team with a far more natural pass catcher and athlete in space, while also providing further early down depth.(A note: There are some terrific writers and scouts at Shrine Game practices this week. The section below will be for sharing their observations, practice clips and the like.)What They’re Saying:Shawn Poindexter Jaron Brown Color Rush Jersey , WR (6-foot-4, 217 pounds)Player Summary: After two quiet seasons to begin his career at Arizona, Poindexter exploded onto the scene in 2018, hauling in 42 catches for 759 yards and 11 touchdowns. As Poindexter’s 18.1 yards per reception would indicate, he has a penchant for the big play. At 6-foot-4 and 217 pounds, he’s a long strider who can get vertical with ease. Poindexter has the size and the downfield ability, and, as a former volleyball player, he has the potential to be an excellent threat inside the paint. Russell Wilson and Paul Richardson formed a great partnership, with Richardson’s length, catch radius and downfield ability giving Wilson the same security Sidney Rice once did. Poindexter is in this mold.What They’re Saying: Bunchy Stallings, OG (6-foot-3, 315 pounds)Player Summary: Entering their second offseason under Mike Solari, Seattle’s evaluation of offensive linemen remains a fascinating case study. Under Tom Cable, they had a hyper specific type of athlete and build in mind. Under Solari, that’s changed considerably—highlighted by the selection of the not-at-all-athletic Jamarco Jones. While their new direction should remain under the microscope through their second draft with Solari as offensive line coach, they have an unquestioned need at guard. Both D.J. Fluker and J.R. Sweezy are pending free agents, and both played great football in 2018. There will potentially be multiple holes along the interior, if one or both of Sweezy and Fluker aren’t re-signed. Stallings is in the mold of a Solari guard, with tremendous size and pedigree—having just been named first-team All-SEC.Stallings is a physical Tre Flowers Color Rush Jersey , tone-setting presence who plays with a legitimate edge to his game.What They’re Saying:Kyle Phillips, DL (6-foot-3, 272 pounds)Player Summary: Stepping into a starting role during his final two seasons at Tennessee, Phillips become a disruptive player for the Vols, collecting six sacks and 12 tackles for loss during the 2017 and 2018 seasons. Phillips has a sturdy frame at 6-foot-4 and 273 pounds, and the way in which he was deployed at Tennessee will pique the Seahawks’ interest. (Phillips also earned the Piesman Trophy in 2018 for this epic touchdown against Alabama.) On early downs, Phillips was disciplined and strong enough to hold up and maintain on the edge. On passing downs, Phillips reduced inside and provided a twitchy presence rushing from the interior. Seattle loves outside-inside pass rushers and if Phillips tests well in the spring, he’ll be on their radar.What They’re Saying: Justin Hollins, EDGE (6-foot-5, 245 pounds)Player Summary: Another defensive lineman the Seahawks could be interested in due to the variety of rolls he can fill. Though Hollins is likely too light for Seattle to be interested in him in a pure pass rushing role, they could envision him in the same way as Jacob Pugh, a Shrine Game participant in 2018 who was with the Seahawks in training camp. Hollins can rush in sub packages or play off-ball, dropping into zones. The former Duck is coming off a productive season at Oregon with 6.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and 14.5 tackles for loss. His size will hurt him, but if he can test well during the pre-draft process, it would make him a highly intriguing and versatile prospect. Helping his cause is the way he carries 245 pounds—he is by no means a scrawny prospect. What They’re Saying:Michael Jackson, CB (6-foot, 207 pounds, 32 3/8” arms)Player Summary: At the risk of sounding like Dwight K. Schrute describing himself David Moore Color Rush Jersey , let me list off Jackson’s best traits: Length. Physicality. Press corner. Strong tackler. Jackhammer. Through and through, Jackson is the type of cornerback Carroll and Seattle craves. There’s reason to wonder how well Jackson will test prior to the draft, but if he can clear the Seahawks’ thresholds, he could be the latest prospect thrown into the mix. Though his ball skills need refining, with no interceptions and just six pass breakups in his final season at Miami, Jackson is a tantalizing prospect. What They’re Saying:A couple names not highlighted above, but worth mentioning: Wide receivers Terry Godwin (Georgia) and Jon Duhart (Old Dominion) have both met with Seattle after practice this week, per Trevor Sikkema of Pewter Report. Though it doesn’t quite have the glamour of the Senior Bowl, the Shrine Game is always an entertaining game, and a good opportunity to get familiar with prospects who will find themselves selected in the area of the draft where the Seahawks thrive.

Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsAccording to ESPN’s NFL Nation’s Brady Henderson, the Seattle Seahawks are not expected to pick up the fifth-year option on tackle Germain Ifedi. The option would have cost the Seahawks over $10 million in 2020, but now Ifedi will become an unrestricted free agent next year barring an extension or the contract tolling for some reason.Ifedi was the last pick of the first round in 2016, going 31st overall because the New England Patriots were stripped of a first rounder. Seattle had traded down from 26 to 31 so that the Denver Broncos could draft Paxton Lynch, now Russell Wilson’s backup QB. The trade gave the Seahawks used on tight end Nick Vannett.Ifedi has started 44 games at tackle and guard for Seattle, including two seasons under Tom Cable and one under Mike Solari. He’s been steady, unspectacular, and among the NFL leaders in penalties. It’s one issue that plagues most of the offensive line sans Duane Brown and could be something that Pete Carroll and Solari are looking to clean up as they build the offensive line of the future.Which Ifedi could still be a part of despite them not picking up his option, assuming they won’t.The Seahawks have 2018 fifth rounder Jamarco Jones and George Fant in line to compete for snaps on the offensive line next season https://www.theseahawksfanshop.com , as well as Ethan Pocic, rookie Phil Haynes, and Jordan Simmons, among others. Only Brown, Justin Britt, and D.J. Fluker seem assured of spots for now, though Ifedi and Mike Iupati are early and considerable frontrunners for the other two spots. Though the fifth-year option has zero guarantees for non-injury, it would have become fully guaranteed if Ifedi did get hurt next season.That was not a risk the organization was willing to take, it seems, though a rotating cascade of bodies at right tackle seems like it could be incoming once again. That being said, I wouldn’t go around calling Ifedi a “bust” or that this is unexpected. Few players in the bottom third of the first round ever have their fifth-year options picked up and we should know by now that the expectations for all first rounders are not equal. There are perhaps more differences between a top-5 pick and a pick in the 25-35 range than there are from the picks in the 25-35 range and picks in the 75-95 range. Perhaps. I’m draftimating.The real surprise would have been if Ifedi had played so well that his fifth-year option became a slam dunk. That was not the case. It was also not the case for Tennessee’s Jack Conklin, an All-Pro right tackle as a rookie who is not having his fifth-year option picked up by the Titans. It happens. If Ifedi has a good 2019 season, then the Seahawks might work to extend him, let him leave for a compensatory pick, or even franchise him.
