Honorable mentions

Let me preface the players below by saying nearly any of them could be in the top five Seahawks by the end of 2019. And if they are, that is not a bad thing but could be a very good sign. If the players below have a big impact, Seattle will go deep in the playoffs.

Chris Carson

Clearly. Carson is the top back in Seattle. He had a stellar 2018 and made the team much better. The only reason he isn’t in the top five is because Rashaad Penny might be getting a lot more of his carries this season. But Carson was a steal for Seattle in the 2018 NFL draft and will continue to be a very good back.

Tyler Lockett

The only reason Tyler Lockett isn’t ranked higher is because quarterback Russell Wilson hasn’t yet entrusted him with a huge amount of targets. Lockett could easily be among the top five Seahawks, and probably will be by the end of the season. If he gets well over 100 targets, stays healthy and has a huge year, I am happy if you call me an idiot.

Jason Myers

Myers was added as a free agent this offseason to fix the Seahawks kicker issue. The last two years Seattle has had, for one reason or another, unreliable kickers. Myers should instantly fix this for years to come.

Ziggy Ansah

Ansah was signed as a free agent too. He needs to replace the production of Frank Clark. If he does, he would be in the top five Seahawks of 2019. If he doesn’t, he won’t return in 2020.

D.K. Metcalf

It is probably too early for a rookie wide receiver like Metcalf to be counted on to be extremely productive. But the raw ability is there for the University of Mississippi product. Should Metcalf turn into Odell Beckham, Seattle will be very happy.

Bradley McDougald

McDougald held the secondary together last year after Earl Thomas went out with an injury after week four. No, the cornerbacks were not great and whomever was playing free safety next to McDougald wasn’t good either. But just imagine how bad the secondary would have been without McDougald. That’s scary.
