Dave:
With the last pick in the first round, the Seattle Seahawks address their biggest need since before releasing Sidney Rice. Percy Harvin needs help moving forward, and so enters Florida State’s Kelvin Benjamin. You can’t teach someone to be 6-foot-5 and 243 pounds, but with proper coaching his issue with drops can be fixed. If Benjamin clears that up, the Seahawks could be on the brink of becoming the next dynasty.

Giorgos:
I’ve read a lot of reports describing Kelvin Benjamin as a boom-or-bust type of player, but the Seattle Seahawks let a talented, strong, 6′ 5″ tall receiver slip to the second round. Benjamin looks like a one-trick pony, a wideout that runs deep and uses his big frame to catch ball high in the air. He struggles with drops and with shaking off defenders, but once he grabs the ball, he is hard to tackle. He is a mismatch for most receivers and this gives him the advantage as a run blocker. Seattle lacks a big target and Benjamin is just that.
