What to expect from Seahawks 2017 draft class in 2020

The Seattle Seahawks are hoping the remaining members of the 2017 Draft class will play a big role on the team in 2020.

Round 7: David Moore, Receiver

Moore was offered an original round tender this offseason, which means he is likely coming back at around $2.1 million next year unless another team offers him a higher contract and Seattle declines to match.

Moore had 17 receptions for 301 yards last season, but he ceded his role as the team’s No. 3 receiver to free agent Josh Gordon, and it is now likely going to be taken over by free agent Phillip Dorsett.

Moore was a great seventh round pick, and he will likely still have a role on this team in 2020, but he will have to fight for touches after a relatively pedestrian 2019 campaign.

Round 7: Chris Carson, Running Back

The best seventh round pick in team history, running back Chris Carson rushed 278 times for a career-high 1,230 yards and seven touchdowns last season, while also getting more involved in the passing game with 37 receptions for 266 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Carson is only held back by his health, which limited him his rookie year and cost him the final few games of the 2019 season as well. He had offseason surgery on his hip and is expected to make a full recovery, but his up-and-down track record of health is a concern going forward.

Regardless, Carson should be the top dog in the backfield once again next season, with Rashaad Penny and Travis Homer on hand as well.
