Stone Forsyth
The Seahawks completed their smallest draft class in the tenure of Pete Carroll and John Schneider by trading up to select Florida tackle Stone Forsyth with the 208th overall pick in the sixth round of the NFL Draft.
Seattle had acquired a sixth-round pick, No. 217 overall, from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by trading out of their fourth round slot earlier in the day. The Seahawks then combined that pick with their only seventh round selections to move back up in the sixth round to take Forsyth and complete their three-man class.
Forsyth is a tackle that befits his name, Stone. At 6-foot-8, Forsyth is a very large-bodied individual for the tackle position. He started 25 games over the last two seasons for Florida at left tackle after initially seeing spot duty at right tackle during his first two years in the program. Forsyth s scouting reports are varying opinions. Some tout his strong pass blocking as having been worthy of a second or third round
Analysis: Seahawks Show Great Foresight Trading Up For Florida T Stone Forsythe
Seattle has a pair of starting tackles under contract in Duane Brown and Brandon Shell, but both players are scheduled to be free agents next March. Forsythe provides the organization with a hedge who could become a long-term starter on the left or right side.

Putting a bow on the smallest draft class in franchise history, the Seahawks shipped picks 217 and 250 to the Bears to move up nine spots and select Florida tackle Stone Forsyth with the 208th overall selection.
Seattle will enter the 2021 season with Duane Brown and Brandon Shell cemented in the starting lineup at both tackle spots. But beyond next season, the team has major question marks at both positions, as both players are set to become free agents next March and Brown will turn 36 years old in August.
