NFL Mock Draft: Week 14
By Brad Weiss
The Seattle Seahawks shook off a tough loss in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in style on Sunday night, throttling the Carolina Panthers at home. With the win, the Seahawks showed why they are considered a Super Bowl contender this season, as they will likely battle the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Championship. There are not many holes on their roster, so the NFL Draft will be used to bolster their already impressive roster.
One area where they need to get younger is in the secondary, so adding another quality defensive back will be the way to go next April. Cornerback Richard Sherman is still one of the best in the business at his position, and would be an incredible teacher to whomever they add to the roster. Quincy Wilson is one of the better cornerbacks in the all of college football, and has the kind of skill set that would work perfectly in Seattle.
This team is built around their defense, and though they will not have star safety for the rest of the season, they should be able to make a nice run in the postseason. Regardless of what happens in the playoffs, the Seahawks will be picking late in the first round in April, and being able to get a talent like Wilson would definitely be a huge win. Sherman has at least a few good years left, but there is nothing wrong with looking toward the future.
