The Seattle Seahawks go into this week's NFL combine knowing they have five draft picks in the first three rounds -- tied with the Cleveland Browns for most in the league.
The roster has obvious areas that need to be addressed like offensive line and cornerback. But this is a key year to build depth and competition at several sports.
While some may downplay the significance of the combine, there's a reason why coaches, scouts and general managers from every team show up. And looking at the Seahawks' history under John Schneider and Pete Carroll, it's clear that the combine matters.
