4. I have no idea who makes it at WR

We know the team’s “big 4” are set. Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett, Jermaine Kearse, and Paul Richardson are all on the team. After that it is a complete mystery.

Tonight was supposed to be a chance for a few guys to make their case that they deserve the other spot(s). Unfortunately, the offensive line and QB play was so bad that it was impossible to make any such assessments.

It didn’t help that Tanner McEvoy and Kasen Williams didn’t play. Those two have both been favorites to make the roster at points during training camp. Now they’re not healthy, which certainly doesn’t help their case to stick with the team.

It is also tough to say that either was passed on the depth chart tonight though. There simply wasn’t many opportunities for other guys to make plays.

The one exception might be Kenny Lawler. The 6th round pick made a really nice grab in the first quarter and followed it up with some solid special teams play.

I honestly have no idea where the Seahawks will go here.
