Seattle Seahawks Pick 4 (114): TE Jeremy Ruckert, Ohio State
Ruckert excels as a run blocker using explosiveness to get out of his stance on the snap of the ball. His quick burst upfield gives him the required power to dominate when advancing into the second level. He uses leg drive as his blocking platform. He was able to be used in a versatile role, lining up for the Buckeyes as a traditional in-line tight end, H-back and in the slot.

Seattle Seahawks Pick 5 (152): LT Matt Waletzko, North Dakota
Waletzko has your prototypical tall and long build for an offensive tackle. Pre-snap, he shows good flexibility in his knee bend. As a run blocker, he shows extremely good power and leg drive to make good contact at the point of attack and continue his blocking path upfield or seal the gap.
