With the twenty-sixth (26th) pick of the 2016 BRB mock draft, the Seattle Seahawks, led by thepencilneck, say...

The Seattle Seahawks chose the wrong time to stop drinking the kool-aid.

This offseason has been brutal for them, losing Bruce Irvin and Brandon Mebane from their defense and Marshawn Lynch, Russell Okung, and J.R. Sweezy from their offense.

At this point in the draft, there are some options available. They could turn to their defense and select Shaq Lawson to bolster their pass rush, but Lawson lacks ideal height; plus, although he's got violent hands and can stack and shed with the best of them, he's only a one-year starter. That's a danger flag. Plus his name is Shaq, for crying out loud.

They could go Jarran Reed and get a nimble inside pass rusher who can stand blockers up. And I really did come this close to making this the pick.

Of course, then there's Jared Goff, who would benefit from the decade he'd spend sitting behind Russell Wilson.

After all that, the obvious choice is someone who can open up holes for running backs, which is something running backs not named Lynch need from time to time. The fact that this guy is also a nasty player who would protect Mr. Wilson helps, too.

With the 26th pick in the 2016 BRB Mock Draft, the Seattle Seahawks select Taylor Decker (OT--Ohio State).
