The Russell Wilson rumors hovered over the Seattle Seahawks for most of the offseason.
Now that the potential of Wilson leaving has waned for the moment, they can focus on using their three draft picks from April 30 to May 1.
Seattle needs to be smart with its selections, which means it can’t waste any of its picks.
The Seahawks front office should have a list of needs, including cornerback and defensive end.
With those defensive needs at the forefront of the discussion, there should be plenty of prospects the Seahawks avoid because they need to get the best out of their selections, starting in the second round.

The Seahawks are hosting free agent edge rusher Aldon Smith today, according to a report.
#Cowboys free agent pass-rusher Aldon Smith is visiting the #Seahawks today, per me and @MikeGarafolo. A possible low-risk, high-reward addition for Seattle if all checks out. He had 50 QB pressures and 5 sacks last year. Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 14, 2021
Smith, 31, posted 48 total tackles, five sacks, 14 quarterback hits, 50 pressures and two fumble recoveries while starting in 16 games with the Dallas Cowboys in 2020.
Weeks after re-signing Carlos Dunlap and adding Kerry Hyder, Seattle doesn t appear to be finished overhauling its pass rush with Smith scheduled to meet with the team.
