No, you actually don't need a complete team, but it helps. You do need an elite D-Line, or O-Line, preferably both without question.
I did some research a few years back. And I found virtually every, if not every Super Bowl Champ had either an elite D-Line, O-Line, or both.
But the modern rules have now made it so QB heavy, you have no shot to win the owl without a QB. Even if you're elite in the trenches. The Rams were the best team in football 2 years ago, but Goff was their QB. 20 years ago they still would've been the champs despite Goff. Not anymore.
You need the QB, D-Line and/or O-Line. Everything else is expendable. Any sort of high asset expenditure that isn't going to these positions is a mistake. Unless you're in luxury territory and need that final piece to put your team over the top at a position of weakness.
If the Seahawks keep spending high assets at Safety, Stack backer, WR, & RB, they won't win anything.
Their last draft was a step in the right directon. 2 OTs, and an Edge, with their first 4 picks.
Now imagine if they had taken 2 more OL-or-DL in the 2nd round instead of burning them on a WR and RB in the last 2 drafts, which can easily be found later in the draft.
Add on throwing TWO 1sts and a 3rd, AND making Jamal Adams the highest paid safety in the league. Take those picks and money, spend it on the trenches. They'd be much further along in the rebuild and really would be a QB away, or y'know just keep the one they had. WR, RB, LB, Safeties grow on trees in comparison to these much more valuable positions.
Maybe this last draft is an indicator the Seahawks are learning, though.
