Seahawks Offseason Preview


This is a preview of the Seahawks offseason.
QB- Tavaris Jackson improved greatly through the year but he is not a franchise QB. Look for them to draft a QB in the first round. Look for them to draft a QB in the first two rounds.
RB- Their running revolves around Marshawn Lynch and look for them to put their franchise tag on him. Justin Forrest is a free agent and if they don't bring him back and draft a young scat back Leon Washington would become the compliment back.
WR- This team is talented at wide receiver with Mike Williams and Sydney Rice coming back from injury. They also have young receivers in Golden Tate and the undrafted free agent Doug Baldwin look for them to add depth late in the draft.
TE- In last years offseason they added the marque free agent Zach Miller and last year he had a very disappointing year. With John Carlson a free agent they must decide to bring him back just in case if he doesn't return to form or draft a TE in the mid round to push Zach Miller.
OL- The Seahawks have trying to rebuild this unit since the retirement of Walter Jones. The drafting of Carpenter, Okung and the signing of Robert Gallery. Look for them in the mid rounds to add depth to this unit in the mid rounds.
DL- The Seahawks have a big decision on Red Bryant who had a superb year last year will be a free agent and they need to make a decision on him. If he walks look for them to be aggressive to look for his replacement in the draft or free agency.
LB- This has been an underrated unit led by David Hawthorne and Leroy Hill who both will be free agents. You should expect Hawthorne back but Hill future isn't as likely. With the departure of Tatpu and Curry before the year expect to add some linebackers from the draft.
DB- This unit had a lot of surprises in Richard Sherman and in Kam Chancellor. Marcus Trufant is a free agent, but don't expect the Seahawks to overpay for him since Sherman played well enough in his absence. This unit looks to have a bright future especially as you look at Earl Thomas who may be the next Ed Reed. Look for them to add depth at through the draft.
