Seahawks Draft Picks....Time will be telling factor...

These three pics are the guys that I think will add the most value to the Seattle Seahawks. Aside from Russell Okung, Earl Thomas and Golden Tate, these are the guys that will be fighting for playing time and I think are going to make excellent additions to the Seattle Seahawks.

PASADENA, CA - JANUARY 01:  Anthony McCoy #86 of the USC Trojans runs with the ball as he is chased by Anthony Scirrotto #7 and Josh Hull #43 of the Penn State Nittany Lions during the 95th Rose Bowl Game presented by Citi on January 1, 2009 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.

Anthony McCoy, TE, from USC
6th Round (185th Overall)
Why I like him:
John Carlson aside, a big tight end such as McCoy is always nice to have. Adding McCoy will give the Seahawks another strong blocker to protect Matthew Hasselbeck or Charles Whitehurst, as well as be an option as a receiver to. According to CBSSports.com, McCoy fell deep into the draft most likely due to the fact that he tested positive for use of marijuana at the NFL Combine.

CHAPEL HILL, NC - OCTOBER 4:  E.J. Wilson #92 of the North Carolina Tar Heels pursues Zach Frazer #10 of the Connecticut Huskies during the game at Kenan Stadium on October 4, 2008 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
E.J. Wilson, DE, from North Carolina
4th Round (127th Overall)
Why I like him:
This Tar-Heel brings a good strong run defensive strength to the Seahawks. He only had four sacks his senior year, but had a career high 49 tackles, including 12 for a loss. (tarheelblue.cstv.com) The Seahawks have struggled in recent years with preventing explosive running. I think that Wilson can have a very positive impact on that statistic given the playing time.

ATHENS, GA - SEPTEMBER 26: Joe Cox #14 of the Georgia Bulldogs scrambles against Dexter Davis #58 of the Arizona State Sun Devils at Sanford Stadium on September 26, 2009 in Athens, Georgia. (Photo by Scott Cunningham/Getty Images)
Dexter Davis, DE, from Arizona State
7th Round (236th Overall pick)
Why I like him:
This is a Pete Carroll pick. Reason being: Davis is from the Pac10. Carroll knows what this guy is capable of because he has spent years planning how to avoid his pass rush. I think that Davis gives the Seahawks another valuable pass rusher. He finished his collegiate career with 31 sacks! Let that translate to the NFL, (Please Please Please!)
