2017 NFL Mock Draft: 1st-Round Projections after Week 5

What? The Legion of Boom drafting another defensive back? If the Seattle Seahawks are picking this late in the first round, they need to think about finding the best value. Yes, they need offensive line help, but Cam Robinson is the only tackle worth a first-round pick in an extremely weak class. The same can go for the wide receiver position, and they can wait for a later round before looking at running backs considering how deep the position is this year.

Richard Sherman and Jeremy Lane are a formidable duo with Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas backing them up. However, there’s surprisingly not a lot of depth at corner and they could use a reliable third corner.

Desmond King would have been an early pick in the 2016 NFL draft, but he decided to finish his senior season with the Hawkeyes. He’s a player with tremendous ball skills and a lot of speed, which means that he could at least come in and play in the slot right away.

If King could learn from guys like Sherman, there’s no telling what kind of upside he would have, and that would make the Seahawks secondary that much more dangerous.
