IMO the Seahawks need to draft a WR or TE that Russell Wilson can trust to go up and get the jump ball, like he had with Golden Tate. I prefer TE sets, so I would like us to target a TE with great ball skills.
Penn St (TE) Jesse James has the size at 6-7 270 lbs, hands, and ability to catch contested passes. He is not the most explosive TE, but he goes up for the ball like a power forward, and he is a runaway train when he runs after the catch. James would be a great redzone target for Russell Wilson. At a charity event, Lift for Life, his team does in the off-season, James benched 225 lbs 27 times and did a deadlift of 500 lbs. He is said to bring a "fierce work ethic" to the practice field, so he has the tools/work ethic to be great at the next level. This is looking like it is going to be a weak year for the TE position in this next draft, but if James declares he could end up being one of the top TE prospects in the draft.
Here is a good article on James...
