Seahawks Select Michigan EDGE Mike Morris with Pick No. 151 in NFL Draft
The Seattle Seahawks are strengthening upfront defensively after selecting another edge rusher, this time Mike Morris.
The ex-Michigan Wolverine was a member of the 2022 first team all-Big 10 team after racking up 23 total tackles, 11 for a loss, and 7.5 sacks. Morris becomes the third edition to the defensive line in this draft class as he joins Auburn's Derick Hall and Mississippi State's Cameron Young.
"Morris wins as a pass rusher by timing the snap well and chaining together moves set up by his power, but he lacks the high-end agility and bend to capture the tackle’s outside shoulder consistently," SI Draft Bible wrote about the Wolverine.
Read some of Morris' scouting report from Draft Bible below:
"Morris primarily rushed from two-point stances in 2022. He appears to have adequate to above-average arm length for the position. Morris offers an excellent combination of height and weight with strength throughout his frame. The senior hammers pulling guards and often uses his power to reset the line of scrimmage at the point of attack. He has no trouble anchoring one-on-one against the run and sets hard edges. Morris uses his hands to deconstruct blocks and make splash plays in the backfield.
He has surprising closing speed and offers some upside as a backside run defender. Morris flows down the line to the football against the run. He takes good pursuit angles to the ball. The Florida native is excellent at timing the snap, which he pairs with an explosive first step. He accelerates into his rush, allowing him to convert speed to power at the point of contact."
The Seahawks will be on the clock again in three picks at No. 154 in the fifth round.
