BREAKING: Seahawks Select Mississippi State DT Cameron Young at Pick No. 123
It has been yet another strong draft for the Seattle Seahawks through the first two days, and with their second pick of the fourth round, they have added defensive tackle Cameron Young out of Mississippi State at No. 123 overall.
This is the second addition to the defensive line for the Seahawks this draft as Young will join Auburn's Derick Hall to fortify a defensive front that needed its share of help after last season.
"Young is a powerful, hard-working college nose tackle who will transition to defensive tackle at the next level because he lacks the mass and play strength to consistently anchor the point of attack," SI Draft Bible wrote about Young.
In his four seasons at Mississippi State, Young anchored a strong defensive line, recording 110 total tackles with nine tackles for loss and two sacks. While his sack numbers may be low, that shouldn't be a concern for Seattle.
Young will be brought in to help stuff the run as the Seahawks allowed opponents to rush for a whopping 150.2 yards per game on the ground last season - a number which Young will look to help improve early in his NFL career.
The Seahawks will be on the clock once again with pick No. 151 in the fifth round.
