Seahawks Draft Colton Hood, Lock Jobe for Defense

On March 9th, the Seattle Seahawks are shaking up their defense after winning the Superbowl,

as they gear up to defend their title next year.

With several veteran contracts ending in the secondary, the team plans to grab Tennessee

Cornerback Colton Hood at the 32nd overall pick-in, the draft to keep their backfield strong.

Hood brings top-notch ball skills and flexibility that fit perfectly into head coach Mike McDonald's

scheme, especially since he started as a standout baseball player in high school.

The front-office locked in cornerback Josh Job with a three-year deal worth $24 million,

or about $8 million a year, to hold down.

The outside, and provides stability amid the changes.

That move comes right after losing key cornerback Kobe Bryant to the Chicago Bears, where he'll

join a turnover-hungry defense after notching seven, picks over his last two seasons in

Seattle.

Fans see this as a smart balance of experience and youth, setting the Seahawks up to stay

competitive as they blend their championship core with fresh draft talent.
