Seahawks draft profile: A.J. Epenesa might heal all wounds

28 sacks. That is what the Seahawks had in 2019. Those 28 represented the second-least in the NFL this past year. This was after Seattle chose what they thought would be a Michael Bennett-type defensive lineman in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft with L.J. Collier. Collier was a failure in year one. He might be in year two and beyond.

In the 2020 NFL draft, and for the long-term fortunes of the franchise, Seattle probably needs to get at least one good pass rusher. The problem is, for as good as John Schneider and Pete Carroll have been at guiding the Seahawks into one of the better teams in the NFL, they have basically stunk at first-round picks since 2012.
