The general consensus among Seattle Seahawks fans is that head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider need to focus on improving the offense during the offseason, whether it be through free agency or the nfl draft. Wide receiver and tight end are the most talked about positions that demand improving.
Bleacher Report’s Marlon Maloney released his nfl mock draft projection and saw Seattle address one of the two areas, in the first round no less, as well as filling in almost every hole that the Seahawks have on their roster at the moment.

"STRENGTHS Big receiver with the ability to mismatch corners in the red zone. Long legs that can cover ground in a straight line. Transitions smoothly from catch to run. Has build-up speed to factor on run-after-catch crossers. Fluid hips for size. Uses size to defeat press coverage. Good body control and length to go get high throws that few can snag. Physical with “separating hands” at the top of the route. Smooth in intermediate routes and can earn a living in that area of the field."
"WEAKNESSES Pass-catching is labored. Allows throws into his frame and catches back half of football at times. Tagged with 20 drops over last three seasons. Isn’t a lock to high-point a throw and doesn’t attack throws. Won’t win enough 50/50 throws. Stifled by inconsistent passing attack. Tends to show monotone, one-note play speed. Hard to find a second gear on tape. Gears down into cuts and slow to accelerate out of breaks."
