Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images \[/caption\] When the NFL Draft kicks off next Thursday, April 23, there will be a mad scramble for teams such as the Seattle Seahawks to get the handful of players scouts think will be ready to start very early on in 2026\. After that, it’s anyone’s guess. Once we reach Day 3 of the draft weekend, running from the fourth to the seventh round, it’s less about finding the perfect plug-and-play guy and more about taking chances on guys that may be raw or unrefined but possess an elite skill or trait that the coaching staff can work with. Let’s explore five draft prospects of all shapes and sizes who possess an elite trait or characteristic, despite their flawed profile, that may merit the Seahawks taking a flyer: **Jalen Farmer, G, Kentucky** Primarily a right guard in college, Farmer is no stranger to facing elite defensive lineman, playing all four years in the SEC. His elite trait is his combination of length and athleticism for a guard. At 6-5 with 34 1/4-inch arms, his size and length rank in the 90th percentile among interior offensive line prospects. Pair that with a 4.93 40 time, which ranked fourth among all offensive linemen at the NFL Combine and second among interior linemen. His 9-foot broad jump ranked in the 93rd percentile. Sure, you won’t see offensive linemen sprinting 40 yards in a straight line or jumping. There’s a reason why he’s likely a Day 3 prospect. At this point in his development, he certainly is not a technician when it comes to blocking. He has a strong natural anchor and plenty of raw physical skills to work with, being one of the best pure athletes of all offensive linemen in this class. **DeMonte Capehart, DT, Clemson** At 6-5, 313 pounds, Capehart has his own gravitational orbit. While he looks like a nose guard, he’s more than just a suck-up-double-teams kind of guy. His length allows him to keep blockers at a distance and dictate the situation. He has powerful, long arms. At that size, it’s unbelievable that he ran a 4.83 40-yard dash with a 33.5-inch vertical leap, both north of the 90th percentile for his peers. That combination of size and power is worth a flyer to be a disrupter in the middle of the defensive line. **Adam Randall, RB, Clemson** The converted wide receiver is a great blend of his previous and current positions. At 6-3 and 232 pounds, he’s one of the biggest running back prospects in the draft. If you think that is a detriment to his athleticism, think again. With a respectable 4.50 40 time and a 128-inch broad jump ranking in the 87th percentile, he’s explosive. Obviously, given he is new to the position, there is not a natural knack for good vision or creativity in the backfield. That may come with time, experience, and coaching. But it’s hard to find a running back at this size and raw athleticism. If the Seahawks haven’t picked a running back by Day 3, they could do a lot worse than Randall. **Charles Demmings, CB, SF Austin** At 6-1, with 32-inch arms, and a 4.41 40-yard dash, Demmings checks a lot of boxes for an NFL cornerback. He has the burst, athleticism, and size to hang with NFL receivers and also improved his ball production generating interceptions and pass breakups in four collegiate season. He is not the most natural route processor or technician. Plus, he doesn’t like to get down and dirty in supporting the run. But if the Seahawks feel they can coach him up in those areas, he’s got the length and speed to replenish that they lost in Riq Woolen departing. However, at a much rawer state. **George Gumbs Jr., EDGE, Florida** An edge rusher with above-average length is always going to get a look. Gumbs Jr. stands at a hair under 6-5 with his arm length ranking in the 70th percentile. What raised eyebrows was his vertical leap, which checked in at 41 inches, sitting in the 98th percentile. His 125-inch broad jump ranks in the 79th percentile. That kind of explosiveness and length is something the Seahawks coaching staff can work with. He doesn’t have the full toolbox of pass rushing moves, but again, that’s something Mike Macdonald and company can figure out. Get that kind of length and explosive power in the building first.
