Like numerous NFL clubs, the Seahawks are wrapping up deals with rookies at a quick pace.
Seattle has signed six draft picks, the club said Friday. Among those signing were San Diego State offensive guard Terry Poole (Round Four), West Virginia offensive guard Mark Glowinski (Round Four), Oregon State defensive end Obum Gwacham (Round Six) and Oregon State safety Ryan Murphy (Round Seven).
The team also announced the signings of Towson cornerback Tye Smith (Round Five) and Buffalo center Kristjan Sokoli (Round Six). Their pacts with the club had been reported Thursday.
The Seahawks will give Poole and Glowinski reps at guard, tackle and center to see where they fit, offensive line coach Tom Cable said after the draft, according to the club’s website.
Gwacham (6-5, 246) is a former wide receiver who was clocked at 4.72 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. If he doesn’t make the roster, it’s possible the Seahawks could stash him on the practice squad to allow him to develop. Murphy (6-3, 214) has the size the Seahawks like in their defensive backs.
Finally, the Seahawks announced the addition of 10 undrafted free agents: Texas long snapper Nate Boyer, Idaho offensive tackle Jesse Davis, Norfolk State defensive back Keenan Lambert, Louisiana State defensive back Ronald Martin, Georgia Tech linebacker Quayshawn Nealy, Central Michigan tailback Thomas Rawls, Montana State linebacker Alex Singleton, West Georgia defensive end Tory Slater, Ohio State tailback Rod Smith, Texas-San Antonio defensive back Triston Wade.
Ex-Michigan defensive end Frank Clark (Round Two) and Kansas State returner/wide receiver Tyler Lockett (Round Three) are the Seahawks’ lone unsigned rookies.
