Draft help for their needy secondary could be in Seahawks’ own backyard
The Seahawks have needs all over their aging secondary.
They have youthful, potential answers in their own backyard.
Recent Washington Huskies Kevin King, Sidney Jones and Budda Baker all could be available when the neighboring Seahawks down Lake Washington pick 26th overall in Thursday’s first round, and again at the end of Friday’s round two.
King has rocketed to prominence since his wowing league scouting combine in March. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.43 seconds, leaped an impressive 39½ inches vertically and ran the combine’s fastest three-cone drill (6.56 seconds). The last showed he can change directions with elite speed.
