How many members of the Seahawks’ 2016 draft class will make the final roster?

In the weeks following the 2016 draft, a buzz built in Renton that the Seahawks had put together a group that would turn out to be the best since the famous 2012 class, if not potentially rivaling it someday.

With the preseason almost complete, it’s hard to say it’s yet to the level of that class, which included quarterback Russell Wilson and middle linebacker Bobby Wagner, each starters from day one at particularly pivotal positions, as well as three others who became key rotational pieces immediately — end/linebacker Bruce Irvin, guard J.R. Sweezy and cornerback Jeremy Lane.

The 2012 class, in fact, saw nine of the 10 players taken that year make the initial 53-man roster.
