Roster Analysis

The offseason is now complete, with general manager John Schneider completing over 60 different roster transactions since taking over in January. Over half of the players currently on the team’s roster were not here a year ago. So some major transformations have taken place since head coach Pete Carroll and Schneider took over.

That said, here’s a closer look at how the 80-man roster is shaping up with about five weeks before training camp begins. Also, I updated my roster, which you can check out here.

A roster update, player evaluations on draft picks

Here’s an up-to-date Seahawks roster heading into this weekend’s post-draft minicamp.

I’m counting 85 guys on the roster right now, but that includes all of the draft picks, and none of those guys have been signed yet. So the roster during the offseason obviously will be fluid, with player evaluations happening throughout the offseason.

Here are the 15 tryout players out this week:
Chris Richards, CB, Stony Brook (5-11,181)
Victor James, WR, New Mexico (6-1, 207)
Chris Duvalt, WR, Illinois (5-10, 173)
Tom Malone, P, USC (6-0, 205)
Eric McCain, WR, Glendale CC (6-5, 200)
Bradley George, QB, Texas State (6-5, 227)
Danny Carmichael, FB, Middle Tennessee (5-11, 238)
Marcus Udell, CB, Middle Tennessee (5-10, 184)
Mike Morales, FB, UC Davis, (6-0, 241)
Roderick Green, DE, Central Missouri, (6-2, 245)
Joe Toledo, OT, Washington (6-5, 337)
Steven Adams, OG, Troy (6-2, 324)
Dan Doering, OT, Iowa (6-5, 301)
LaJaun Ramsey, DT, USC (6-2, 291)
Gerald Washington, DE, USC (6-5, 262)

We had a couple requests for player evaluations on the draft picks, so I’ve provided those below.

Seahawks final 53-man roster

Here it is – the final 53, although Lawyer Milloy still is not official. The main surprise was the Seahawks cutting free safety Brian Russell. Hawks GM Tim Ruskell said during the preseason that there was competition at the safety position between Brian Russell and Jordan Babineaux.

But the Seahawks coaching staff downplayed the issue during training camp, making it seem like Russell was still the guy and the move to put Babineux at safety was more so in terms of depth.

Now we know the team wasn’t totally content with the personnel there, with the going out and getting Lawyer Milloy to beef up the secondary.

Linebacker D.D. Lewis not making the team also comes as a surprise. And Seattle decides to keep 11 defensive linemen, including rookies Nick Reed, Michael Bennett and Derek Walker.

Projected Seahawks final 53-man roster

The Seahawks have to get down to the final, 53-man roster by Saturday. As always, it won’t be easy as several players are straddling the line on whether or not they will make the roster.

But I thought we would take an initial swing at the final 53 and see who might be on the outside looking in come Saturday.

Roster Analysis

Except for perhaps another free agent addition or two to fill out the roster along with the team’s draft selections, the Seahawks roster is in large part what it will look like when the team begins its first minicamp in April. So here’s another look at the team from each position heading into April. Seattle currently has 65 players on the roster, and has lost seven of its own players through free agency.
