Seahawks must shore up their offensive line
Russell Wilson was beat the heck up last year. Honestly, he’s been beat up an awful lot the past three seasons, enduring a grand total of 128 sacks during the regular season and another 23 times during playoff games.
As tremendous a job as general manager John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll have done assembling talent on defense, they’ve utterly failed Wilson in this regard. Heck, this past season, one of their starting offensive linemen, George Fant, literally hadn’t started in a single football game since pee-wee league before being thrust into the line of fire.
The Seahawks thought they had landed one of the top free agents this year in guard T.J. Lang. Ultimately, however, he chose to sign with the Detroit Lions, leaving Seattle to settle for first-round bust Luke Joeckel.
Upgrading the offensive line is clearly a critical aspect that must be addressed by Seattle in this year’s draft.
