Shout out to Connor Orr (SI) who had the best read on the Seahawks: “I cannot stop moving the Seahawks up every list or tiered ranking that I’ve done this offseason. While this technically has the team on the lip of playoff contention, I have a feeling that Seattle will be our true “surprise” of 2025, if you can count a team as such after winning 10 games in 2024. We liked Sam Darnold with Justin Jefferson. We might like him just as much with a run game, unlike what Seattle has seen in years.”
