Last month, I ranked the Seahawks' positional needs entering the 2021 NFL Draft. Over the course of the three-day event, general manager John Schneider and his staff hit on three of the needs I mentioned in the list with the selections of receiver D'Wayne Eskridge, cornerback Tre Brown, and offensive tackle Stone Forsythe.
However, nearly a month removed from the draft, there are still areas along Seattle's roster that could use improvement or much-needed depth—or both. The Seahawks, of course, don't have a ton of salary cap space to work with ($6.6 million in effective cap, per OverTheCap.com) to address every single remaining need of theirs. At least, they don't appear willing to pull the necessary levers - restructuring Bobby Wagner and/or Russell Wilson's contracts - to do so.
