Richard Sherman has only given up one TD on the year, and hasn't intercepted a ball, but still comes in as the third-best CB in pass coverage among those with at least 155 snaps.

Khalil Mack has been showing he is worth his draft position this year. He is first among 3-4 OLBs with at least 115 snaps in Run Stop Percentage, and comes in 13th in Pass Rush Productivity creating 21 pressures. He’ll be chasing Russell Wilson who has the highest-rated run grade among all QBs, +3.8, and is also fourth in Accuracy Percentage among those with 210 or more drop-backs.
