The penultimate pick is… a corner!
Another Auburn Tigers defender is headed for the Pacific Northwest! After selecting Nemehiah Pritchett a couple picks ago, the Seattle Seahawks selected DJ James, who were the incumbent veteran starters for the Tigers last season. He had three interceptions over the past two seasons with Auburn after transferring from Oregon following the 2021 season, according to Sports Reference.
As a side note, the Seahawks and Denver Broncos seem to be developing quite the trade pipeline these days. After agreeing to swap earlier picks, the Seahawks were able to add some extra depth in a draft where they were bereft of both a native second and fifth round pick. While the 207th pick shouldn’t be expected to step into a starting role instantly, this guy will add some competition to the roster and gives Mike Macdonald a young, rangy, developmental prospect at corner.
So what made this guy a target for the Seahawks? Let’s take a look at some film and see!
