Spoiler: A familiar name fills both conditions at No. 5.
The Seahawks have to find more juice in the pass-rush department, and Wilson brings plenty of that with his first-step quickness and length off the edge. Wide receiver or quarterback of the future are worth a look here, but the No. 1 need is to find a true starter on the edge, even after the addition of Dre’Mont Jones in free agency.Here’s how Jordan Reid made that determination:
The stars align here, as Seattle also takes the best available prospect in the trenches. Wilson is the type of player the Seahawks tend to gravitate toward. His length, strength and physicality fit well with their defense, and even though he still has some developing to do, Wilson would be a big upgrade on a young defensive line.Blech! Admittedly, I do understand the logic that both Miller and Reid use; I just don’t like it, and I pray that’s not how the #5 pick plays out on April 27th.
Wilson at No. 5 checked off the pass rush, so the Seahawks are free to focus on offense and adding a WR3 who can become a front-line starter once Tyler Lockett has moved on. Addison is an efficient route runner with sure hands and the ability to play immediately from the slot. He has great quickness and instincts.Here’s how Jordan Reid made that determination:
Kancey isn’t quite the best player still on my board, but he’s up there . And the Seahawks would be adding an explosive option on the inside. Kancey has the potential to revolutionize Seattle’s passing defense the moment he steps on the field as a rookie. His hand aggression and first-step burst are the best of any interior defender in the 2023 class.I don’t necessarily agree with Addison as the actual selection, but I do agree that addressing WR at #20 makes a whole lot of sense.
In the ESPN article, Miller identifies C.J. Stroud as the player that addresses Houston’s biggest need, but Reid identifies Will Anderson Jr. as the best value at No. 2.taking a quarterback at the top of the draft, but . . .
