The Seahawks need to find a way to hold on to Matt Hasselbeck, that’s the biggest key to Seattle’s hopes of success in 2011. Hasselbeck was injured during a few stretches of the season, but when he was in the lineup, he was good. His passes were spot-on against the Saints in the Wild-Card game. His passes were also good against the Bears, but his receivers weren’t hanging on to them until late in the game.
Marshawn Lynch should also remain in Seattle. He may not have had the best regular season, but the Seahawks offensive line wasn’t that impressive in run blocking either. The fact that Lynch had such good games against the Rams and Saints can be looked at from multiple perspectives, but clearly he is talented and if they can get him running like that for 16 games (or 18) they would be in a great position.
The defensive line and pass rush from the linebackers could use some help, and the line may be the direction the Seahawks go in the draft. The secondary cannot be ignored either, but a lot of that upgrading may have to be done through free agency depending on who is on the board in the mid-late rounds of the draft. Remember that despite their losing record the Seahawks have the 25th pick in each round, and they don’t have 3rd, 4th, or 6th round picks, which also puts them at a disadvantage.
