This is who I am predicting the seahawks choose with their first round pick because:
A) He is enough of a reach that we would take him.
B) He is best at tracking the deep ball, which is great with Russell Wilson (Wilson leads the nfl in TD passes over 20 yards)
C) He should be a physical specimen who has tons of production, (I have no idea why people love Justin Hunter/Robert Woods and are down on Terrance Williams. He is a better player without an injury concern or Matt Barkley)
The DB’s look as if they feel overmatched against him and have to hit him early to have a chance at breaking up the pass. I’m not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing for Williams’ transition to the NFL.
I really want a WR, but I don’t know if this is the right draft for one. It seems like there will be at least four teams desperate for a WR ahead of us. The Rams, Jaguars, Browns, Jets, and Chargers are all jeopardizing their QB futures by having inadequate receivers.
