Seattle could certainly use another receiver but that doesn’t mean they absolutely need another one. After Sidney Rice signed with the Seahawks last month, the wide receiver position became a little less of a priority for the Seahawks in the draft. On the flip side, Rice and Percy Harvin are both injury-prone so it would make sense for the Seahawks to use their second round pick on a receiver that could compete with Ricardo Lockette, Bryan Walters and Chris Matthews as a No. 5 or 6 receiver on the team. If Seattle gets really lucky, they may find a diamond-in-the-rough receiver who shines like Jermaine Kearse did last season.
