  1. Seattle Seahawks

Kendall Fuller – CB – Virginia Tech

Cary Williams had a rough campaign and at 31 may no longer be in the Seahawks’ plans. Seattle needs to bring in someone to play opposite Richard Sherman and Kendall Fuller can provide that role with a little time.

Fuller’s 2015 season came to an end after a knee injury but provided it doesn’t hamper his combine performance, Seattle’s need at corner may trump any concerns they have about his health.

Before the injury that negated most of his junior season, Fuller was the ACC Defensive Freshman Rookie of the Year and earned First Team All-ACC honors after his sophomore season.

The injury will push him back some in the draft, but the risk is worth the reward for Seattle.

The Seahawks can also opt for DT Jonathan Bullard of Florida or WR Corey Coleman of Baylor to address other concerns.
