Seattle Seahawks post-draft 53-man roster projection

The Seattle Seahawks are a long ways away from the 2020 regular season, but here’s our first take at what the 53-man roster could look like.

Safeties (3): Marquise Blair, Quandre Diggs, Bradley McDougald

Three safeties may not seem like enough, but with Amadi and potentially Flowers both capable of filling in up there, I think it could work.

Diggs and McDougald are the presumed starters after the tandem looked very solid down the stretch last season. Both are savvy veterans who are capable of playing either strong or free safety, and the versatility, experience and overall talent they bring to this team will make fans remember the old days of the Legion of Boom.

Second-year thumper Marquise Blair will be in the mix as well, and his physicality and speed will make him one of the better backup safeties in the NFL.

The casualty here is Lano Hill, who I expect to join his draft mate Tedric Thompson in the free agent pool this summer.

Hill is a perfectly fine backup safety in the NFL, but with Amadi and Flowers on hand the team can move on and create a solid group of versatile thumpers across the secondary.
