Seahawks select OT Germain Ifedi with 31st pick of NFL Draft

Todd McShay said Germain Ifedi could help Seattle in pass-protection "because he's long and balanced." (AP) “This is a big man,” general manager John Schneider said of Germain Ifedi, who's 6 feet 6, 335 pounds and has a 7-foot wingspan. “He’s a power player.” (AP) Three of the Seahawks' five first-round picks under GM John Schneider have been offensive lineman: Germain Ifedi in 2016, James Carpenter in 2011 and Russell Okung in 2010. (AP) The Seahawks plan to use Germain Ifedi at right tackle but like his ability to also play guard.
