Positives - While he has only served in a backup and kickoff return role, Morris has shown good moves when given the opportunity and has produced a 5.2 ypc number in only limited duty. Morris should be the guy to step in if anything happens to Shaun Alexander, a consensus top 5 back.

Negatives - Shaun Alexander is a hoss. He hasn’t shown any tendency for injuries in his five year career. Seattle will pound Alexander and Morris won’t likely see much action outside his kick return role.

Draft Strategy - Last round flyer on somebody who could produce if he gets the chance. Seattle has a high-powered offense in which any capable running back will most likely succeed. If Morris gets the chance, there’s no reason to think he couldn’t produce top 10-15 RB numbers.
