The Seattle Seahawks have consistently done a great job at drafting and developing players. The trend goes back several years, as there may not be another team that has done a better job of identifying late-round steals and developing them into stars.
The roster building has paid off as Seattle is off to a solid start this season. After squandering an opportunity to beat the San Francisco 49ers in their season opener, they have bounced back with consecutive blowout victories over the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints.
The Seahawks have the makings of a legitimate contender as they rank fifth in scoring offense and second in scoring defense -- the only team in the league to rank in the top-five in both categories through three weeks.
