Defensive line
seattle needs help at multiple positions on the offensive line and could dip into a deep tackle class in the draft even after signing George Fant in free agency. Under new head coach Mike Macdonald, the team is also completely overhauling the back end of its defense following the departure of the linebackers. Bobby Wagner It is Jordan Brooks as well as security Jamal Adams It is Quandre Diggs. Those holes have been partially filled with some free agent signings, but Seattle could still look to add young depth in those situations.

How they made the last draft
We gave Seattle a B-plus and that seems fitting given that the team seemed to land both first-rounders. Corner Devon Witherspoon was an immediate impact player and a Pro Bowler, and WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba bounced back towards the end of the season after injuries hampered him early on. The rest of the draft class was pretty underwhelming, with RB in the second round Zach Charbonnet providing just a few highlights and fourth round Anthony Bradford struggling primarily at right guard as a rookie starter.
Dream Fantasy Draft Pick
The Seahawks are well-stocked at running back and wide receiver and have re-signed tight end Noah Fantso there are no real fantasy needs in Seattle. Geno Smith is 33 years old and regressed last season, but the team cannot approach the QB during the draft after trading for Sam Howell. The Seahawks already have a lot of mouths to feed, so fantasy managers are only dreaming about Seattle upgrading their offensive line, which ranked in the bottom five in pass-blocking efficiency last season. – Dalton DelDon
