#1 The Offensive Line

It should come as no surprise that this is the biggest worry for Seahawk fans heading into the 2016 season.

This off season, the Seahawks seemed to take the “nothing could be worse than what we had” approach to rebuilding the offensive front. Three more draft picks were spent on the OL in addition to two free agent signings and a couple of major position changes. If the season started today center Patrick Lewis might be the only constant. Yet Lewis finds himself in an uphill battle to even make the team after Justin Britt was moved to the pivot and TCU’s Joey Hunt was taken in the draft. THAT…..is some sort of remodel.

The good news? There is more upside than in past years, and more youth…… equating to a chance to build some continuity over the next few seasons.

Next: Which NFCW players would the Hawks steal?

But for 2016, with all the goals the Seahawks have in front of them, the line’s ability to come together quickly and make a positive contribution to an otherwise loaded offensive club is the key to the team’s success.

And for that reason, it tops our list of 5 things to be worried about with the 2016 Seahawks.
