My dream draft starts with Buddha Baker in the 1st and Kevin King in the 2nd.
However, if I'm Schnieder and could only pick one at #26, knowing the other will be gone, I'm going with Baker.
Earl Thomas is irreplaceable, yet Buddha Baker has the ability to be that type all around rangy defensive field general especially given time to develop. Earl has already taken Baker under his wing, so I see zero issues with Earl mentoring Baker as his heir apparent.
However, what I love about Baker isn't his future at FS but he can come in and compete at NCB and put pressure on Lane. And be more of a Mathieu type DB for the Seahawks early on, then possibly getting handed the torch later at FS.
With that said, let's say the Seahawks also do love King, that they feel he's a great fit and they can coach him up. You can coach up tackling, run fits, technique, agressiveness but you can't coach length and athleticism. And King is elite in both, with the Seahawks track record, I think in the least King can be a solid all-around CB. At best, he could be developed into a shutdown corner. In terms of making plays on the ball rather than the WR, and his recovery quickness, he reminds me a lot of Richard Sherman. There is a lot to like about King, I think he can be an immediate starter at RCB, and I think his ceiling of potential is high with the right coaching.
So, if King is available early to early-mid 2nd round and price is the Seahawks 2018 First-Rounder. I would pull the trigger. I wouldn't mind one bit at the cost.
Secondary is one of the biggest opportunities, I think it needs a shake-up, it needs depth, not buoyed by developmental hopefuls, but immediate talent that compete and contribute right away.
