Seahawks Reload with Draft Picks

0:00On April 2nd, the Seattle Seahawks just washed four starters from their Super Bowl squad, bounce in free agency, running back Kenneth Walker, the... 3rd, Cornerback Colby Bryan, Ed Wrescher Boy Mayfay, and Corner Ric Wullen. Add-in backup receiver, Derrick E. Young, and that's five hits to last year's Dept Chart. Still, for a championship core, it's not a disaster. Their roster runs deep thanks to GM John Schneider's Smart Building. Earlier this week, Schneider plugs some gaps with free agent signings like Noah Igbenegin, at Corner and Edgevets, to Marcus Lawrence and Uchena. New O-Soo. Zack Sharbanay steps up a running back of healthy, with new guy Emanuel Wilson backing him, while Young defenders like Derrick Hall and Nehemiah. Pritchie get bigger shots on D. Fans are buzzing because the NFC West days brutal, Rams and 49ers ready to pounce if Seattle slips. That thin margin means every lost stings, but the depth buys time heading into the draft, where Schneider holds picks in the first three rounds.

1:04Draft talk heats up with needs at speedy running back and cornerback, though this class lacks elite burners like Walker. Experts eye Clemson corner, Avion Terrell late first round, Notre Dame back, Tudarian price in round two, USC's Versatile Kamari Ramsey in three, and... Penn State's Edge, Danny Dennis Sudden, as fits for Mike McDonald's scheme. In the end, Schneider faces the classic draft dilemma, Chase needs or grab the best talent available. With four holes and early picks aligning nicely, Seattle could reload smooth and stay in the hunt, without missing a beat.
