Are the Seahawks in play for Emeka Egbuka?
Considering the Seahawks just signed wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Seattle is going to have other draft priorities. Which include continuing to rebuild their defense and offensive line. The Seahawks also have more day two selections which they can use to replace receivers Tyler Lockett and D.K.
