Complete Pick-by-Pick Analysis

Pick #28 - Seattle Seahawks: Damon Wilson II, Edge Rusher,

Miami

Rank: #31 overall | Grade: B+ Why This Pick:

Critical need filled. Seattle Seahawks desperately needed Edge Rusher help (need #1), and Damon Wilson II was the best available at this spot. This pick addresses an immediate roster weakness.

The Fit:

Damon Wilson II brings immediate impact to Seattle Seahawks. Damon Wilson II is a speed-and-finesse edge rusher who wins with one of the rarest get-offs in the 2027 class. He signed with Georgia as a five-star, consensus top-20 national prospect out of Venice High in Florida, where he set a school record with... His best trait—rare, explosive get-off off the edge that forces tackles to vertical-set and opens counter lanes—fits perfectly with what this team needs. Projects as a Nolan Smith (Georgia-bred bend-and-burst edge who wins with finesse over power)-type player at the NFL level.

Strengths: Rare, explosive get-off off the edge that forces tackles to vertical-set and opens counter lanes

Weaknesses: Run-defense production is thin, with just twelve run stops on the season

NFL Comp: Nolan Smith (Georgia-bred bend-and-burst edge who wins with finesse over power)
