I think last year was really 2011 in that we are maybe a year away or two from being a legit contender , only difference Wilson over TJack put us in Play-Off competition, this year is more like 2012, imo with a similar no-nonsense tough-nosed, hard-working draft class most with something to prove.
However this class compared the 2012 one seems to have more plug and play players, with specific roles, that 2012 class brought in guys like Toomer and Sweezy who were project players. Irvin as well was a project much like DJ Metcalf is... Phenomenal athlete. 1 known elite skill with a lot of hard work to put in to develop into an all-around player. Irvin was able to improve each year and he came into the league at 25 years old. Lane, Wagner, and Turbin came from smaller schools.
It’s possible the Seahawks can develop their Bennett and Avril with Collier and Martin, respectively, but if you get 8-10 of these draft picks to stick plus a few Udfa’s with solid contribution. All of sudden you have draft picks at your disposal to trade up or trade away for a player.
