The Seattle Seahawks have selected edge rusher Jake Martin out of Temple in the sixth round with the 186th overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Martin is the eighth player taken by Seattle in this draft and the sixth added on Saturday.

The Seahawks - who have also selected Rasheem Green and Shaquem Griffin - look to be loading up at edge rusher with veteran Cliff Avril possibly entering his final season as a pro.

Martin was a two-year starter at Temple and had a breakout season as senior, producing eight sacks and 11.5 tackles for a loss in 2017.
