For those who follow my blog, you will know that I split the draft process into 2 this year, once for the real seahawks, but mainly for what I would do.

Following the draft I then wrote an article on what my initial impressions out of the gate were for how I saw everyone on the team (one for the team I would have had following the draft and one for the real Seahawks roster). This article will focus on the my edition of the Seahawks team (previous, linked article here) and how I would put together their final 53, plus the 10 man practice squad (if it could only be put together from people on the current 90).

[NOTE: due to time constraints I cannot give a full reasoning behind each decision and will focus on those I think are the closest. I will try to do the full reasoning post cut]

So without further ado, here is what I would do:

 

Green – Final 53

Orange – close call

Grey – Practice Squad Candidate

Red – Cut

 

Offence (25)

QB (3)

Lock, Jackson, Smith, Lynch

RB (5)

Carson, Penny, McKissic, Barnes, Ingold (FB), Bellore (FB), Sutton, Scarbrough, Prosise

TE (2)

Dissly, Sternberger, Dickson, Vannett, Swoops, Johnson

youth over experience. I might be pushing it though taking WR Wright over Dickson and maybe should take him instead.

WR (6)

Lockett, Brown, Moore, Renfrow, Ferguson, Wright, Reynolds, Turner, Scott

OT (4)

Brown, Fant, Jones, Ifedi, Nkansah

OG (3)

Fluker, Risner, Iupati, Roos, Simmons, Martin

Haynes (PUP), Knox (IR)

C (2)

Britt, Hunt

 

Defense (25)

DE (6)

Clark, Green, Burns, Daniels, Jones, Jefferson, Marsh, Jackson

Very sad that there in no space for Marsh, would love to keep him.

DT (4)

Ford, Hill, Saunders, Mone, Woods, Meder

Reed (SUS)

Mike (2)

Wagner, Kendricks, Calitro

Will (2)

Wright, BBK, Ellerbee, Currie

Leo (3)

Griffin, Martin, Davis II

CB (4)

Griffin, Flowers, Moreland, King, Derrek Thomas, Simeon Thomas, Thorpe, Taylor, Reed, Davis, Boykins

Two long arm corners for the PS.

S (4)

McDougald, Redwine, Gardner-Johnson, Hill, Luani, Thompson, Harvey, Evans

 

Special Teams

Kicker (1)

Myers

Punter (1)

Dickson

LS (1)

Ott

 

As mentioned above, full breakdowns of the actual cutdown and answers to how I got to this roster will follow.
