Seahawks 2021 Draft Profile: Derrick Barnes A look at Purdue linebacker Derrick Brooks and his potential fit with the Seahawks on day three of the 2021 NFL Draft. Author: Apr 24, 2021 The Seahawks shocked their fan base when they selected Texas Tech linebacker Jordyn Brooks with their first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Having that added depth with Brooks also makes the potential loss of K.J. Wright a bit easier to bear for Seattle.
