Seahawks 2021 draft: Top prospect at every position
By Geoff Shull
This off-season is going to be full of exceptionally difficult decisions. The Seahawks have very little cap space. They have a lot of players hitting free agents. This includes quite a few starters.
Ordinarily, this would mean that the team would look to the draft to help fill the roster with inexpensive talent. However, they have virtually no draft picks. Just three picks to be precise.
Something is going to have to give. I’ll likely have an article going out in the next little bit detailing players that Seattle could end up trading away and their market value in this uncomfortable off-season. However, for now, the team only has 3 picks.
Seahawks needs
The point of this article is to show you all that this draft is turning out to be exceptional. There is a lot of talent to be had. What makes this even better, a lot of the talent is at positions of need. This includes the offensive line, wide receiver, running back, and secondary.
Other positions like defensive line and cornerback have some sneaky talent. However, it’s not a stacked position class that will have talent throughout the draft. This is where Seattle would ordinarily look to free agency to fill the need. However, again, they have almost no money.
No matter what happens, it will be imperative for the team to be smart with their resources. The article is going to outline one player at every position that the Seahawks could target at pick 56 in round two (outside of QB). This article will only have attainable players. I am not going to include anyone I think will be around one pick.
