With Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, there are few questions about the Seahawks’ top two weapons. However, they need more diversified skillsets at wide receiver and that’s something SMU’s James Proche can provide the offense.

Proche does not have the speed of Lockett and Metcalf nor the size of the latter. Having said that, he has elite ball skills, solid route-running and glue permanently on his hands. He can be a possession weapon capable of making big plays all over the field in this offense.

Pick via Bengals

With the extra pick that they acquired from the Bengals in the initial trade, the Seahawks look to the defensive line once again. While Baun can be a versatile piece, they still might need a more traditional player in the rotation, someone such as Anfernee Jennings.

Jennings isn’t a twitched-up athlete by any stretch but the Alabama product is as refined as you’ll come from a technique perspective out of college. With nice strength and mental acuity at the position, he can be a valuable depth addition for Seattle.

Greg Olsen was signed this offseason and Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister have both had moments. Having said that, I’d like to see another option at tight end for the Seahawks that has a little more versatility and upside.

Dalton Keene wasn’t used often at Virginia Tech but has all the upside in the world as a pro.
