The Seattle Seahawks find themselves stuck in the NFL’s middle tier—good enough to compete for a playoff spot but not yet built to contend for a championship. Geno Smith enters the final year of his contract, and while his presence eases the immediate need for a quarterback, his age and performance suggest Seattle could start planning for the future this offseason. Beyond quarterback, the Seahawks must address two major concerns: generating a consistent pass rush and improving offensive line play. With eight draft picks as of now, Seattle will have plenty of opportunities to upgrade key positions and take a step toward contention.
