One way to judge the somewhat increasingly precarious nature of the Seahawks’ franchise right now — still fielding a roster that looks Super Bowl caliber but with more apparent holes than past years — is to asses the team’s needs entering this week’s NFL draft.
In past years, there were position groups — quarterback, safety, cornerback — that could just about be ignored when trying to figure out what the Seahawks might do in the draft, particularly anything outside of late-round flyer.
But this year, a case can be made that Seattle could be justified taking a player at basically every position group other than kicker/punter, and maybe quarterback, by the end of the second day of the draft (or, the first three rounds).
