The Seattle Seahawks’ biggest need heading into the 2019 offseason is EDGE rusher. Field Gulls readers agree with this; in a January 14th article, 43% of you voted EDGE as the biggest need (next highest was 20% on Free Safety). There is, however, a large issue. Getting the type of EDGE rusher the Seahawks love is going to be near-impossible.
The Front Office emphasizes long arms and wants a 10-yard split in the 1.5s for the pure EDGE types. According to Rob Station at Seahawksdraftblog, Seattle has never taken an EDGE rusher with under 33inch arms.
