Quincy Wilson

CB, Florida

Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks proved once again that they are one of the best teams in the NFC, even if their season ended with an embarrassing loss at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons. Wilson did everything he could to get his team back to their third Super Bowl in the four years, but eventually the losses on defense proved to be too much. Earl Thomas is expected back next season, and Richard Sherman should be back to 100 percent, as it was announced he was playing with a bad MCL for most of the season.

In April, the Seahawks should look to bring in some reinforcements in the secondary, and Quincy Wilson of Florida would be a perfect fit. Wilson teamed with Teez Tabor to give the Gators an incredible duo at cornerback in the SEC, and he has played in some big games before. He may be the best cover cornerback in this draft, and he would team with Sherman to give the Seahawks arguably the best cornerback duo in the NFC.

Seattle is not going anywhere, as Wilson is one of the best quarterback in the league. The Legion of Boom is still very much alive, and the team has to look past their loss to the Packers this postseason. This is not an organization that is going to take a step backward, and with how pass-heavy the NFC is becoming, they need to make sure they always have the advantage against the pass.
