From 2013 to 2016 -- a stretch in which the Seattle Seahawks won one Super Bowl, got back to another and didn't miss the playoffs -- they consistently had one of the NFL's most stacked rosters.
That made it harder for draft picks to make the team, let alone carve out significant roles as rookies. It was by no means the only reason Seattle's 2013, '14 and '15 drafts yielded such underwhelming returns, but it was a factor.
Those days are gone. All the turnover Seattle has undergone this offseason means more jobs are there to be had than in recent seasons.
