DRAFT COUNTDOWN: 5 weeks. Every Thursday until the draft, we look at draft-related topics involving the Seahawks.
As positively as they try to spin it, it is clear Pete Carroll and John Schneider are not finished with their offensive line.
Carroll said Garry Gilliam can handle left tackle, Justin Britt will improve at left guard, Mark Glowinski is ready to start at right guard and J’Marcus Webb can be better at right tackle for them than he has been for other teams.
Carroll said Gilliam is “an athlete who is really equipped to play” left tackle, Glowinski is “a natural guard” who should “be a big factor” and Britt “is just going to continue grow as a guard.”
“We think those guards give us a really secure spot with big upside,” he said.
But there’s no way the Seahawks are going to training camp with just these guys and center Patrick Lewis. Even on the off chance that they do not add a veteran before the draft next month, they certainly are going to add at least a couple linemen during the draft.
John Schneider would not confirm whether he and Kam Chancellor came to some kind of agreement last week, but he did say the safety will remain with the Seahawks in 2016.
While Russell Okung stole the free-agent spotlight over the last week, culminating in his deal with Denver on Thursday, the Seahawks continued to go about their other business.
Either Kam Chancellor is planning to play nice with the Seahawks this year or he is starting up a PR campaign.
It’s easy to see why so many people are scratching their heads over the Seahawks’ underwhelming offensive line moves this week, especially when everyone seems to have a different opinion of where J’Marcus Webb will play.
Two down. Three to go. Including the most important.
