The 2020 NFL Draft has concluded, and the Seattle Seahawks now turn their attention toward the rest of the offseason. However, fans and analysts were befuddled that general manager John Schneider did not select any players to reinforce the secondary.
Schneider stated that the team must put an emphasis on improving the secondary following their divisional-round loss to the Green Bay Packers last season.
It is true that the Seahawks have made a few moves on that front, such as acquiring Quinton Dunbar and trading for Quandre Diggs last year, but improving the pass rush was evidently their biggest priority in the draft. That is understandable given the uncertainty of Jadeveon Clowney’s return and the pass rush could help the secondary if they get to the quarterback consistently.
However, Seattle’s secondary did not perform too admirably last year overall and with few changes, could be a point of concern for 2020, especially with defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. returning along with his defensive scheme.
