What should the Seahawks do at defensive tackle?

The Seattle Seahawks number one need at defensive tackle in 2019 is really about as simple as it could be: extend Jarran Reed.

The 26-year-old (was 25 for most of last season) recorded 10.5 sacks and at the moment it seems as though reports that Reed was the “steal” of the second round in 2016 have been justified. Known for his ability to stuff the run, Reed now has the third-most sacks by a Seahawks defensive tackle in a single season in history. Cortez Kennedy once had 14, John Randle once had 11, and now Reed is coming off of 10.
