In 2019, the Seahawks tried to replace Earl Thomas with an aggregate of decent safeties, and it didn’t pan out. Then, they fleeced the Lions, acquiring Quandre Diggs for a fifth-round pick in October. That probably saved Seattle’s defense and its season, and now would be a good time for Pete Carroll and John Schneider to double up. Of all the safeties in this class, Winfield, the son of the former Bills and Vikings Pro Bowl cornerback, reminds me the most of Thomas with his intelligence, range, ball skills, and ferocious playing demeanor.
