Seahawks' 53-man roster projection includes seven receivers (for now)

The Seattle Seahawks will cut their roster to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET Saturday. Here's a projection:

Paxton Lynch was gaining ground on Smith before he took a nasty hit to the head/neck in the second preseason game. Smith has the edge in experience, and Lynch has practice-squad eligibility. Remember, the Seahawks could always find someone who's currently on another roster to back up Wilson, like they did last August with Brett Hundley, but Smith has looked competent enough to be the guy.

McKissic has value as a returner, an area of need with David Moore injured and Seattle wanting to take some of those duties off Tyler Lockett's plate.
