The Seahawks' offseason has been fine, but for one analyst, the team, as currently constructed, has no weaknesses.
Trying to project what an NFL team will look like during the regular season is tough, especially when you're doing it in May, and when it comes to the Seattle Seahawks, we are a little unsure of what to expect.
After free agency saw a handful of starters and rotational players leave, the franchise used most of its draft capital to plug holes for Mike Macdonald.
Kenneth Walker, Coby Bryant, Riq Woolen, and Boye Mafe are now on new teams, while the Seahawks didn't exactly replace them with veterans. Instead, rookies and the young players already on the roster will be asked to step up.
Given that the Seahawks weren't overly active in free agency, it can be a little tricky to gauge their offseason in its entirety, but with their draft class, you could make the case that Seattle has at least maintained its 2025 level.
For Sports Illustrated's Gilberto Manzano, he's given Seattle a B grade for its offseason, while making a rather declarative statement about the roster that general manager John Schneider has constructed.
"With this team’s track record of finding talent, the Seahawks will likely be able to overcome the significant losses they had in free agency," Manzano wrote. "They could use more youth at edge rusher, but they recently added Fowler to provide depth at the position. Overall, there isn’t a glaring weakness on this team.
"However, it’s never easy for teams to repeat as Super Bowl champions. Unknown obstacles will occur, but this team has been ready for most challenges since Macdonald was hired by Schneider two years ago."
Do the Seahawks have a glaring weakness?
Granted, at this stage of the offseason, it is a pure projection, but running back is a little bit of an unknown with Jadarian Price and the room's makeup.
At receiver, if Jaxon Smith-Njigba goes down injured or can't replicate his 2025 efforts, it could be tough given the receivers behind him.
But neither of those positions is exactly a weakness.
Pass rush could also do with some reinforcements, but with Leonard Williams and DeMarcus Lawrence, again, it's not a weak area for Macdonald.
So, after all the outgoings and the NFL Draft, the Seahawks have once again positioned themselves, at least right now, to have one of the most well-rounded rosters in football.
With no glaring weakness anywhere.
