The Seahawks did a decent job stopping the run game and rushing the quarterback last season, but now they need to figure out how to replace Clinton McDonald, who signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this offseason. Seattle drafted Jordan Hill last year, but adding another defensive tackle would help take some weight off the shoulders of Brandon Mebane and Tony McDaniel. Ideally, the Seahawks need a pass-rusher who can disrupt the quarterback or sack him as McDonald did last season.
