How Do Seattle Seahawks Stack Up Position-By-Position Against Rest of NFL?

While the Seahawks have plenty of star power on their roster with standouts such as DK Metcalf, Ken Walker III, Leonard Williams, and Devon Witherspoon, coach Mike Macdonald's team has plenty of question marks as well at several position groups. How do they stack up against the other 31 teams in the league? Hosts Corbin Smith and Connor Benintendi examine ESPN analyst Mike Clay's annual position-by-position rankings and discuss/debate whether or not the rankings are too high, too low, or just right, including a surprisingly low slot for Geno Smith and Seattle's quarterbacks, and continue their 90-man countdown with No. 49-47.

I've talked football with Connor many times, and I can tell you for a fact he knows the NFL as well as anybody. He's a great addition to the Locked On team.

[@Perfumery_by_Sabin]

Welcome Conner!

[@cygen9566]

Thank you Corbin & Connor!

[@mauryeskenazi9611]

Connor was a great addition..love his Seahawks reporting on SI

[@iron_bison]

Good show. Think Geno himself shoukd be ranked higher. Disagree on Howell. If i know anything about hawks fans i know if we had a qb throw that many picks we would never think they were worth anything.

[@joshe2190]

Agreed. And witht them ranking our Oline 32, which i also disagree qith but i get it whole new line, whole new system. Geno has no ability to improvise much like how russel wilson did. His numbers are drastically different when pressured. Id say with a better line Geno is more of #10-12 of QBs more or less. We know Genos highs and lows. It all just depends on the Line this year

[@iron_bison]

​@@joshe2190I get the oline rank til we see it. If Lucas comes back and the interior if not great isn't a liability I'd assume Geno will have a very good year.

[@BigTindy_UW_SEA_Trump]

I don’t think you can put all of those interceptions on Howell that organization was a mess clean from behind a ton no line blocking. The kid was a first year starter and he did just as much with a ton of impressive throws and showed as much grit and toughness as any quarterback in the league last year Obviously 21 interception is terrible, but I think when you look at the whole picture, there’s a lot more upside than down with Howell

[@brianmyers4444]

@@BigTindy_UW_SEA_Trumpyeah you put it up more times than any other qb, good chance they’ll have a large number of ints…..

[@iron_bison]

​@@brianmyers4444this is why I have doubts...in '22 geno threw just 40 less times than Howell last year but way, way less turnovers. Maybe howell has untapped potential. Like my original comment...I just know in my gut if howell played for us and threw 21 picks fans would be yelling from the rooftops for a new qb. From russ through Geno whether you love, hate, or are neutral on those two Seattle has been very lucky to not have a turnover machine as qb for 14 years.

[@stevenvanevery7252]

Late in the season howell led the league in passing yards at one point

[@LoneWolf11711]

I don’t think there is a Miami Washington

[@samruth240]

Was losing Will Dissly, and Parkinson, really that big of a loss?

[@seasquawker]

I don't think so, especially with the addition of Barner. More opportunities for Fant now as well. Not as deep as we were, but barring injury, Fant and Barner should get things done

[@kennysquance6689]

Derrick Hall was a really bad pick by Seahawks. After Nwosu & Mafe which I think is great young talent there’s a big drop. Caesar and Rason Williams might have more upside than Taylor and Hall.

[@iron_bison]

How do you figure the upside of Hall? He was more productive at a better conference than either guy and fairly explosive tester compared to ceasar and williams.

[@BigTindy_UW_SEA_Trump]

It is way too early to say that about Hall . He’s got the physical attributes. He was a really good player in Auburn and could very well have a breakout year this year then tire defense was not well last year including Hall .

[@brianmyers4444]

No chance a UDFA has more upside than either of those two guys….and Williams was already released…..
