It’s hard to imagine that the Legion of Boom would need any help at all, but with the departure of Chris Maragos during the offseason, Seattle needs another safety to compete with DeShawn Shead as Kam Chancellor or Earl Thomas‘ backup. The Seahawks haven’t looked very hard for a safety during free agency so don’t be overly surprised if the Seahawks use a Round 4 or 5 pick on a player who they feel has the ability to rotate into the Seahawks’ No. 1-ranked secondary.
