The Seahawks' roster doesn't have many glaring holes, but there is one the franchise has to address.
The Seattle Seahawks' Super Bowl-winning roster, you could make the case, was one of the most well-rounded in football.
It was hard to find a glaring weakness on Mike Macdonald's team throughout the season, but one that was rather problematic, especially in the Super Bowl, was right guard with Anthony Bradford.
Struggling to protect Sam Darnold, Bradford had a tough time of it in the Super Bowl, but did enough to allow his quarterback time to get the ball out to his skill-position players.
Now, as the NFL Draft comes into view and the Seahawks' roster has been hit a little by free-agent departures, some think that Seattle has to address the defense in the draft.
But NFL.com's Gennaro Filice thinks finding a replacement for Bradford should be the priority for general manager John Schneider.
"The reigning Super Bowl champions unsurprisingly boast one of the best all-around rosters in the league. It’s hard to identify many holes," Filice wrote. "However, the Seahawks did have one big problem area throughout last season’s road to the Lombardi Trophy: right guard.
"Patriots DT Milton Williams put Anthony Bradford in a clown suit on the Super Bowl stage -- and that wasn’t an isolated occurrence for the beleaguered blocker. Seattle fixed LG last year with the savvy selection of Grey Zabel; John Schneider would be well-served tending to the other guard spot in this draft. The 'Hawks currently own a league-low four picks, but three come in the first three rounds."
Could the Seahawks really overlook the defense and even the run game with no Kenneth Walker and fortify the interior of the offensive line?
It appears so.
Penn State's Olaivavega Ioane is seen as the best guard in the draft, but there is no way he lasts until Seattle's first selection (No. 32).
So that leaves the other three rounds for the Seahawks to find a replacement.
Emmanuel Pregnon, Chase Bisontis, and Keylan Rutledge are other names the franchise could consider. However, at the time of writing, the Seahawks have only four selections in the draft.
One pick in each of the first three rounds before a sixth-round pick.
So if the Seahawks were to take a guard, say, like Pregnon, in the second or third round is where they would have to do it.
There are a few holes in Seattle's roster, and maybe guard has jumped to the top of the to-do list for Schneider.
