Seahawks Mock Draft I

What would be the ideal Seahawks draft in my mind. This:

1.04 Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech

Selecting a player who reminds me of Herman Moore brings a tall, physical target with great mitts for Hasselbeck to throw to. Because he's not a burner, his skillset is a great match for the short to medium passing game the Seahawks will employ with #8 at the controls.

2.04 LeSean McCoy, RB, Pittsburgh

After a year of sharing duties with incumbents Duckett and Jones, this explosive runner will have bulked up enough to become the much needed speed element and feature runner that is currently missing from this offense.

3.04 Rashad Johnson, FS, Alabama

While the team has recently praised Brian Russell for his leadership and being a 'gritty veteran', he should be the first starter replaced on defense by new coach Jim Mora, Jr. He also fits the mould of a Tim Ruskell player: All SEC first-teamer. Speed. Heady player.
