  1. Seattle Seahawks

Mackensie Alexander – CB – Clemson

The Seahawks have one of the best corners in the NFL in Richard Sherman, they just don’t have someone who can line up on the other side of the field and give the team consistency. Alexander’s stock has started to rise and late in round one appears to be where his draft stock is heading. At Clemson Alexander was a good coverage corner despite having thick fluidity in his turns. What he does have is physicality and that is something that the Seahawks like from the secondary.

Offensive line could also be an area of need depending on what happens to their line leading up to free agency but I don’t believe they will spend a first round picks fixing those problems but instead look at the one defensive position that is keeping that defense from being great again.
