Opinion on the 1st Round
I like the thought of having a talented tight end, but generally I don't usually see this as such a need position if there is any other high-caliber player on the board. Personally, I'm a fan of running backs, and love to see an exciting, consistent ground game. Part of me doesn't believe our backs, even with Morris will be able to provide that.
If there is a talented Safety, or an upper tier offensive linemen, then yeah I could see an easy case made for that. But I feel that the players we have on our line this year are more built for success now than our running back depth chart is. Our offense never was consistent running the ball, and the more I look back on it I firmly believe we had no belief that it would be successful. Limited carries, no matter how lackluster the talent, will most likely never get the job done.
If Stewart or Mendenhall are on the board, I go for them. A nice sized, complete, hard running back is something we have missed. If they are gone, and the talent on the board is leaning safety or wide receiver, then I go there. Fred Davis to me, shouldn't even be one of our first thoughts If he's not able to immediately improve our offense on multiple levels.

no, 6'8" guys do not grow on trees
Anyway, the point is, size is overrated. Steve Smith is a top wideout in the league, Warrick Dunn got it done for years, Maurice Jones-Drew, etc. Dwight Freeney is too light, Tapp is too short, Drew Brees is too short, and Bob Sanders is too small. Picking someone for size alone is what gets Sonics in trouble every year, save Durant.
You pick based on production.
