NFL Draft RUMORS: Seattle Seahawks 'Love' Dorial Green-Beckham; Targeting Wide Receiver In Second-Round?

The Seattle Seahawks shocked the NFL world when they acquired mammoth tight end Jimmy Graham from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a first-round pick and center Max Unger at the outset of the latest league year.

According to the latest report, if Seahawks GM John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll have their way, Graham won't be the last big addition the franchise makes to their formerly mediocre cache of offensive weaponry this offseason.

"I'm told the Seattle Seahawks would love to grab Dorial Green-Beckham if he's available at the 63rd selection," reports Tony Pauline of Draft Insider.

Pauline adds that the team expects Green-Beckham to go higher than their second-round selection though, so a trade-up may be the only means by which they're able to add him.

Green-Beckham is, of course, widely viewed as the biggest boom-or-bust prospect in the looming 2015 NFL Draft. With continuous personality and legal issues - including two arrests for marijuana possession - getting him kicked off the Missouri football team, the bust factor with Green-Beckham is very, very real.

When discussing his prodigious talents though, it's just as easy to see the incredibly high potential for him to boom as well.

"Oklahoma had to hold him out of some drills because he was just dominating practices. He was (abusing) their starters, It wasn't even close," an NFL scout said of Green-Beckham, per Bob McGinn of The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

Green-Beckham joined the Sooners in the wake of his dismissal by Missouri but never suited up for the team after being ruled ineligible by the NCAA.

Still, despite the off-the-field concerns and the rawness to his route running and overall game, the idea of Green-Beckham and Graham operating in the red zone with quarterback Russell Wilson and running back Marshawn Lynch for the Seattle Seahawks is hard to fathom and, honestly, seemingly almost unfair.

Not to mention, if there's any NFL franchise that could take a troubled player like Green-Beckham and set him straight while at the same time allowing him to play fast and loose and enjoy himself, it's probably the Seattle Seahawks.

The Seahawks took Paul Richardson in the first-round of last year's draft, but he managed just 29 receptions in 15 games before tearing his ACL. He's also just 6-foot, 183-pounds, meaning it's unlikely he'll ever be a major red zone threat.

The rest of the Seahawks depth chart at wide receiver is filled with good, not great names like Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse and Chris Matthews.

Were the team actually able to add Green-Beckham, he'd immediately become the most talented player in their receiver room.
