SIZEWISE SHUTTLE A SERIES FREE
Though the vast majority of his snaps came as the free safety in Utah’s defense, Blair will offer Seattle versatility-rangy enough to play as the single-high safety:īlair is like a heat-seeking missile. Where Blair Winsīlair’s strengths work in chorus he has great play speed and burst to get to the football, and when he arrives, he finishes with physicality and certainty. Though he doesn’t have a complete athletic profile, Blair does clear the Seahawks’ thresholds in the drills he tested in-vertical jump, broad jump and forty yard dash-and his broad was particularly impressive (80th percentile among safeties). Blair-like Earl Thomas-plays like he’s 220 pounds, and that was surely taken into consideration. At just 195 pounds, Blair is nearly 10 pounds lighter than the next lightest safety Seattle’s drafted since 2010 ( Tedric Thompson at 204 pounds). Size wise, Blair is an exception to a mold the Seahawks have stuck to quite closely. At pick 47, the Seahawks selected Utah safety Marquise Blair-a tremendously fun player, but a selection that led to some vintage eyebrow raising in Seattle’s direction.
Originally set to pick 37th on Friday night, the Seattle Seahawks slid down once, 10 spots in exchange for the Panthers’ second and third round selections (numbers 47 and 77).
