Delano Hill to Seahawks in 3rd round (#95 overall)

Safety Delano Hill was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the 3rd round (#95 overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft.

I’m a little surprised that Hill went this high after not having an extremely productive career at Michigan, but I think the Seahawks are a good fit for him, because he’ll play strong safety in a defense that plays a lot of Cover 3. He’s also a solid tackler.

Also, I don’t hate the Seahawks, so at least I won’t have to swallow hatred in order to root for him, like I’ll have to do with the Browns and Cowboys.

2017 NFL Draft Preview: Michigan

Taco Charlton

Players are listed in order of how I expect them to get drafted.

1st ROUND

Taco Charlton – DE
Charlton didn’t particularly enjoy playing a 3-4 defensive end role in 2015 under defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin, and he was more productive as a weakside end in 2016’s version of the 4-3.  He’s projected by NFL scouts as a 4-3 end, and mostly I’ve seen him pegged as going in the last third of the first round, though he has moved up to the middle third of the first round in some mock drafts over the last week or two.
Teams to watch: Saints, Bears, Dolphins, Falcons

Hit the jump for the rest of the draft preview.
