Seattle needs more pass rush, especially with the switch to a 3-4 base front. Mafe was a LB often tasked with rushing the opposing quarterback and projects more as a 3-4 EDGE rusher.
His numbers as a pass rusher are disappointing, with most of his damage coming against inferior competition. He's also not particularly adept at stopping the run. Hopefully Seattle can bring out the best in him.
Grade: B+
