The Seahawks have reportedly signed a pair of draft picks.

According to Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports, Seattle has struck a four-year deal with Towson cornerback Tye Smith, agent Sean Stellato told the media outlet. Smith was the Seahawks’ fifth-round pick.

Also, Buffalo defensive tackle Kristjan Sokoli, a sixth-round selection, has signed his deal with Seattle, agent Brett Tessler announced on Twitter.

Sokoli (6-5, 300) will be converted to center in Seattle and will compete for a backup job. Likewise, Smith (6-0, 195) will try to capture a reserve role in a star-studded Seahawks secondary. He intercepted six passes in four seasons at Towson.

Smith and Sokoli are the first Seahawks draft picks to reach deals. Seattle has six unsigned selections.
