Who should the Seahawks pick in the upcoming draft as a PUNT returner? Hopefully they can get a guy that has some capabilities to fill that role as well as contribute significantly as a WR/RB/DB and fill two needs at once.
To my thinking, there are several viable options, depending on availability and pick position. IMHO, the BEST option would be drafting WR-Tyler Lockett at #63. He has all of the necessary stats. to justify this pick & is certainly an outstanding “playmaker” that would fit in well (even if he isn’t 7-feet tall). I think RW would absolutely love working with Lockett, they have some "short" similarities. In the event that he is gone when the Seahawks pick at #63, then the other options kind of fall into place depending on round. The much desired “tall” WR, should be available later in the draft as there are several viable options that should be available then.
2014 - FBS - LONG PUNT RETURN'S:.
per: ttp://www.cfbstats.com/2014/leader/nati ... ort01.html
Ranked #2, WR-Tyler Lockett. (behind only a freshman.)
MY GUESS: ROUND-2, PICK#63?)
8 @ 20+yds, 5 @ 30+yds, 4 @ 40+yds, 2 @ 50+ yds (WOW)
----13 games, 21 punt returns for 402-yds, 2-TD's, 19.14/avg
+ 106 receptions for 1515-yds. & 11-TD's. (#4 in FBS with 106 receptions, #3 in FBS with 1515 yds.)
----NOTE: All Purpose yards, Lockett in 2014 was #3 in FBS (behind only RB's Gordon & Coleman) -1515-rec/402-punt ret/362-KO ret., 2296-total yds, 15.5-avg/play (every time he touches the ball) and 176.6-avg/game.
Ranked #4, RB-Marcus Murphy
(MY GUESS: ROUND 6, PICK #214? - ONLY IF LAST OPTION FOR A PR/KR.)
6 @ 20+yds, 2 @ 30+yds, 1 each @ 40+, 50+, 60+, 70+, 80+, 90+.
-----14 games, 27 punt returns for 281-yds, 1-TD, 10.41/avg
+ 177 rushes for 924 & 4-TD's & 28 receptions for 212-yds & 1-TD.
Ranked #13, WR-Ty Montgomery
(MY GUESS: ROUND 6, PICK #180? - IF NO OTHERS PICKED EARLIER.)
4 @ 20+yds, 4 @ 30+yds, 4 @ 30+yds, 2 @ 50+yds, 1 @ 60+ yds.
-----11 games, 12 punt returns for 238-yds, 2-TD's, 19.83/avg (shared duty.)
+ 61 receptions for 604-yds & 3-TD's.
Ranked #28, WR-Nelson Agholar
(MY GUESS: ROUND-2, PICK #63 - IF LOCKETT IS GONE?)
3 @ 20+yds, 2 @ 30+yds, 2 @ 40+yds, 1 @50+yds.
-----13 games, 19 punt returns for 197-yds, 2-TD's, 10.37/avg
+ 104 receptions for 1313-yds & 12-TD's.
FCS Candidate for Punt returns (There may be others, who knows.)
WR-Tre McBride,
(MY GUESS: ROUND-3, PICK #95, ONLY IF LOCKETT & AGHOLOR ARE BOTH GONE?)
--FCS stats difficult to find, however, I like McBride as a WR and per the most recent profile update at cbssports.com “Experienced lining up inside and outside. Extensive special teams experience as both a kick returner (23.1 average) and punt returner (11.1) over his career.”
If the Seahawks got 20+/- yards per punt return it would significantly improve field position & be a relief from last years fair catches, short returns, lost yards & drops. Is there any position that can be improved more than PR?
