  Draft Scout by Conference









  For the first time since 2011, the Seahawks used their original first-round pick, and they did so to acquire a player who they hope can be a difference maker for their defense, Texas Tech linebacker Jordyn Brooks. The Seahawks came into the draft with the No. 27 overall pick, and unlike the past eight drafts, they used that pick to take Brooks, a 6-foot, 240-pound linebacker who was a second-team Associated Press All-American in 2019. And if it was a surprise for observers to see the Seahawks use their first-round pick and not trade back, getting the call from Seattle was just as surprising to Brooks, not because he didn't believe in his ability, but because he hadn't been in contact with Seattle since the NFL Scouting Combine.

Brooks said on a Zoom call with the media that he was in the kitchen making some pasta when he was told his phone was ringing. "I was a little bit surprised it was the Seahawks; I wasn't surprised about the first round, but was surprised the Seahawks came and got me," Brooks said. "I hadn't talked to them since the Combine, so I wasn't really expecting them to pick me, but I'm forever grateful and excited to get to be there in Seattle." - Seahawks.com
