RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks added some size to their wide receiving corps Saturday, drafting California's Kenny Lawler (6-foot-2, 203 pounds) with the 243rd overall pick (seventh round).
My take: Wide receiver was not really a need position entering the draft, but Lawler has a different profile than the other pass-catchers on the roster.
Playing with Jared Goff last season, Lawler caught 52 balls for 658 yards and 13 touchdowns. He's not a burner (4.64 in the 40-yard dash at the combine), but is tall and long (33 3/8-inch arms).
Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse and Tyler Lockett are unquestionably the Seahawks' three primary wide receivers. 2014 second-round pick Paul Richardson will look to compete for playing time as well.
Lawler will have to battle guys such as Kevin Smith and Kasen Williams for a roster spot this summer.
