Barring injury, it’ll be tough to break up this group and it certainly doesn’t need a high draft choice addition. The top 3 receivers are under contract through at least 2018 and the depth pieces are earning their places on the team with strong commitments to their craft. WIDE RECEIVER– Baldwin, Kearse, Lockett, Richardson The only way they may get involved with one of them early in the draft is if Rawls proves to be too injury prone to count on as an every week back.
It’s too bad the Seahawks won’t be in the market for a high end RB next April because the draft will be LOADED with franchise running backs.

I expect this to be Christine Michael’s last year in Seattle, as he is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, which leaves a depth spot open for a young back that will either be drafted late or brought in as another UDFA. If Rawls stays healthy in 2016, he will be under team control for a couple more years as a high end RB1. Thomas Rawls (34) watches from the sidelines during training camp at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.

There are enough tools there to drop the need from HIGH to MEDIUM, but let’s hit the brakes on the rookie until we see him handle everything asked of a pro quarterback.Įven if Boykin isn’t the answer as the backup QB, the team will not spend its more valuable draft capital on a second string signal caller and is more likely to go the late round pick or UDFA route again. Boykin is an intriguing project but make no mistake, he is a project of the rawest form.
Wilson is a top-tier quarterback and under contract for the next 4 years. We’ll start with offense, then go to defense. We will rate each position’s draft need as either LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH or NO NEED. So, building off the momentum of this season’s draft, let’s navigate through the (approximated) 2017 roster by evaluating both the players and contracts at each position on the team and assign a level of draft need for each grouping. It was a home run draft for the team, I believe, in terms of adding both starters and quality, cheap depth pieces (which are vital when paying so many great players big money). Rees Odhiambo,Quinton Jefferson and Joey Hunt may all capable of winning camp battles at their respective positions. Tight end Nick Vannett HAS to be better than a Cooper Helfet-type. Prosise has no competition as a third down back. Jarran Reed does the same with current one-tech linemen after the loss of Brandon Mebane. First round pick Germain Ifedi compares favorably to current offensive guards on the roster. In other words, they emphasize using their own roster to evaluate available college talent and determine whether the draftee is able to compete with current roster players at a particular position.Ģ016’s draft beautifully followed this philosophy. Remember, GM Seahawks John Schneider has publicly stated multiple times that the team drafts not for the league, but for their own team. By identifying the areas of greatest need now, Seahawks fans can focus on certain positions and players while watching college football games this fall.
