Dillon Radunz, North Dakota State University 

There could be a jump for Dillon Radunz and he may end up out of the reach for Seattle, so they may have to go up and get him. While North Dakota State only played one season this year, what they did last year was quite impressive. Dillon was also blocking for the most dynamic quarter back in the country in current first round prospect Trey Lance. On the back of Radunz blocking he was able to go over 1,000 yards rushing and 2,700 yards passing. While not allowing a single sack.

Not saying Trey Lance and Russell Wilson are similar, but he does come from a system which enabled a rushing quarterback. So he should already know how to block in the event Wilson takes off, and how to move the pocket accordingly.

While he is from a small school he did not end up going against high end talent. But, at 6-foot-6 and 308 pounds, I think he would end up being a solid guard at the next level.

Radunz to me is too light to play on the outside, where his height may not allow him to bend low-enough vs the speedier pass rushers. His size and speed should work very well in a pulling guard situation. With being lighter his footwork is a bit smoother than some of the bigger guards out there, which could be a positive should the pocket break down in his ability to slide and stretch the line.

I think there is a lot of upside here, while I think he does need a lot of work against stronger talent, and possibly another 10-15 pounds, he is a solid project who seems to fit the system very well. If Seattle can reach down and drag out his true ability, they will have a star on their hands at an excellent value.
