![]() ![]() Jahri Evans has looked pretty horrible thus far, and I think the Kristjan Sokoli experiment is coming to a close. Glowinksi has looked solid so far (if not the best starting lineman already), and the coaches seem pretty content with Ifedi locking down right guard. Like Poole, Ifedi and Odhiambo are both experience at playing offensive tackle, so the versatility of these three lineman will allow the team to only keep 8 total offensive linemen. Mark Glowinski, Germaine Ifedi, Rees Odhiambo With his ability to play guard as well, it allows the team save a little bit of roster space along the offensive line. ![]() Terry Poole has looked amazing to me all this preseason so far, and I personally am rooting for him to eventually unseat Sowell as a starter sooner, rather than later. He and Sowell will likely still be the top two offensive tackles at the beginning of the season, and think that J'Marcus Webb is cut. Though Gilliam was suddenly demoted before the game against the Vikings last week, I don't think that is a permanent thing. ![]() Garry Gilliam, Bradley Sowell, Terry Poole After some of the depth woes of the last few seasons, the Seahawks look to have three quality tight ends in 2016. Though Brandon Williams has looked good as a blocker, I don't see him beating out either Willson or Vannett, and I definitely don't see the team keeping a fourth tight end. Tight endīy all accounts, it looks like Graham will be ready to go for game one. The Seahawks could very likely forgo keeping a sixth receiver here for the preference of keeping another offensive lineman. Nwachukwu have shown so far, but neither has stood out enough to unseat Smith as the fifth receiver. I thought that he'd be best suited for safety, and he still may be, but he has shown some flashes of skill at receiver that you rarely see from someone just switching positions. However, McEvoy has really impressed me (and he did in college too- he was one player that I really wanted the Seahawks to actually draft). Usually, I refuse to get caught up in preseason hype when a player performs well at the end of a game. The coaches trusted him near the end of last season, and he can take on almost any role, both as a receiver and on special teams. The team will almost assuredly keep at least 5 receivers, and I think Kevin Smith has to be the top option there. Wide receiverĭoug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett, Jermaine Kearse, Paul Richardson, Kevin Smith, Tanner McEvoyīaldwin, Lockett and Kearse are easy, and I think that Richardson has one last season to prove to the coaches that he can stay healthy and contribute to the team. The coaches still want a fullback, and the young newcomers aren't cutting it. However, the resigning of Tukuafu is telling. It seemed like the position was being phased out as the offense became more based out of the shotgun. I seriously considered not including a fullback on the 53-man roster. Troymaine Pope looked good against the VIkings, but I don't think it was enough. I really like what George Farmer has done, but I think that Brooks has just a little bit of talent upside over him. It might seem like the easy way out to pick only the returners and draft picks while leaving out any new UDFA, but I don't see anyway that Rawls, Michael, Prosise, or Collins don't make this team. Thomas Rawls, Christine Michael, Alex Collins, C.J. I don't know what is off with him, but Boykin has obviously won the trust and favor with the coaching staff. His mechanics and footwork in the pocket are each so perfect and beautiful, but then his throws are just never quite on target. Russell Wilson is Russell Wilson, and Boykin has looked great with the lion's share of snaps he's received. This might be the easiest position to pick on the entire team, outside of kicker and punter. I will most likely get a significant portion of these predictions wrong, so feel free to hold it against me two weeks from now. With only two games left in the preseason, teams are looking to settle the final few undecided spots left on their roster before making the cuts to get down to the 53-man roster that will be used to start the season.Īt the same time, people like me use this as an excuse to exercise our typing fingers while spouting off meaningless predictions of who we think will make the roster. ![]()
