ESPN insider: Why Seattle Seahawks' roster is in 'interesting spot'
The Seattle Seahawks don't have a lot of elite talent on their roster. ESPN recently released a ranking of the top 10 players in the NFL at each offensive and defensive position, as determined by a survey of league executives, coaches and scouts. The Seahawks had only one player ranked among the top 10 at their position: Second-year pro Devon Witherspoon, who checked in at No. 9 among cornerbacks.

Seattle Draft Picks

Expert Commentary
The Seahawks got one of the few truly disruptive interior defenders in the draft with Murphy — something they really needed. Murphy has the talent to become a star in Mike Macdonald’s defense and gives the Seahawks a credible option up front in case Dre’Mont Jones struggles again in his second year with the team.

Expert Commentary
Haynes is a STUD. The Seahawks might have a rookie starting guard in the third round who excels just about everywhere. This is a fantastic pickup.
