21. Seattle Seahawks: Rashan Gary, Edge, Michigan

One year after missing out on the playoffs for the first time during the Russell Wilson era, the Seattle Seahawks bounced back in a strong way by earning one of the Wild Card spots in the NFC before falling to the Dallas Cowboys right away.

As frustrating as it was to see them lose to the Cowboys, the good news is the Seahawks should feel confident in their chances of competing once again in 2019.

Thanks to a strong ground game along with the defense playing better than expected, Seattle has a lot to build from when it comes to making sure their success carries over into next season.

With a few areas they can focus on in the first round, it would almost seem too good for the Seahawks to pass on Rashan Gary if the Michigan star were to end up falling this late in the round since many believe he could even go in the top 10.

There was a time a few years ago in which Seattle established a reputation for having one of the top defenses in the NFL, and while this team is nowhere near that level at the moment, adding another playmaker like Gary would be another positive step in the right direction.
