In a switch from much of the Pete Carroll era, defense seems to be the major area of need for Seattle as teams begin to ramp up for the NFL Draft April 25-27.
The calm of the NFL offseason – the Seahawks haven’t made a transaction in almost a month — is about to turn into a storm.
The Seahawks and every other NFL team will send hefty contingents of coaches, scouts and personnel execs to the combine next week in Indianapolis to further ramp up the process of preparing for the draft. That will lead pretty quickly into the free agency period — players can begin signing with other teams on March 13.
