Seattle Seahawks: Predicting wide receiver depth chart for 2020
By Lee Vowell
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver depth chart
Past Metcalf and Lockett, there could be a lot of moving parts in the Seahawks receiver rotation. Seattle took tight end Colby Parkinson in the 2020 draft and he is a giant target at 6’7″. There are some who think Parkinson ends up as a receiver as he has good hands and length and Seattle’s tight end room is pretty full.
The fact of the matter is that Seattle doesn’t have much proven talent for Russell Wilson beyond Lockett and Metcalf. I think Seattle keeps just five receivers on the roster and goes heavy at tight end with Dissly, Olsen, Jacob Hollister and Luke Willson.
So five being the number, these are the early predictions for the Seahawks depth chart in 2020:
- WR 1: Tyler Lockett
- WR 2: D.K. Metcalf
- WR 3 (slot): John Ursua
- WR 4: Josh Gordon
- WR 5: Colby Parkinson
This means David Moore won’t make the team. He has been extremely inconsistent in his career and Gordon, who I believe will get reinstated, is far better than Moore.
I believe Ursua does enough in training camp so that Dorsett, even though Dorsett was signed to a pretty low one-year deal, does not make the roster. Ursua would be the more long-term option in the slot.
Next. Dream trade targets to fix the Seahawks pass rush. dark
Finally, I think Parkinson makes the team as a receiver. He won’t get tons of snaps but will be a massive red zone threat. Imagine the length Seattle would have inside the opponents 20 with 6’4″ Metcalf, 6’7″ Parkinson, 6’3″ Gordon and 6’5″ Greg Olsen. That means Wilson might have his best year ever in touchdown passes thrown.
