26th overall- Shaq Lawson– EDGE- Clemson- Seattle Seahawks

Shaq Lawson is a scheme transcendent player who should fit right into the Seahawks hybrid cover-3 scheme. Lawson tries to win with power, and use his hands well with a lot of violence. High motor player. Not bad speed for a guy as big as he is at 270 running a 4.7 flat at the combine. He isn’t the best athlete and can be a bit stiff in the hips, but I personally think he’s a bit more athletic than most seem to believe. Pegged as average athletically at best, but I believe he can be a  Pernell McPhee type at outside linebacker, but can also play defensive end in a 30 front. Seahawks should be thrilled to get a player of his magnitude at the 26th spot of the first round.
