There are a lot of areas the Seattle Seahawks are expected to address this offseason, either via free agency or through the NFL draft.
One of those areas is wide receiver depth, a position of need after a disappointing campaign from everyone not named Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf in the receiving corps.
While the team could certainly use an early round pick on a player capable of competing for the No. 3 receiver role, they could also look toward the back of the draft to add key depth, and potentially groom someone for a big role in the future.
Should they choose to do that, one player they could target in the final rounds is Texas A&M receiver Kendrick Rogers.
Rogers played sparingly his first season but had two solid campaigns in 2018 and 2019, hauling in 57 receptions for 687 yards and seven touchdowns.
Rogers fits the mold of a Seahawks No. 3 receiver, standing six-foot-four and 204 pounds with a ton of length, which creates a huge catch radius. He also has plus speed for a big receiver, which could boost his draft stock come combine time.
Rogers is very limited in his route-running (sound familiar?) and was only used as a deep threat at A&M, which worries some scouts.
While I don’t expect Rogers to be the next Metcalf – there are some similarities, enough to make him an intriguing late round flyer for this Seahawks team if they can swing it.
