If the Seattle Seahawks are going to rejoin the ranks of the NFL's elite teams, they're going to have to do it through the draft.
Their 2017 class looks as if it could be a good start, though the uncertainty with top pick Malik McDowell's health makes it impossible to count on Seattle ever getting anything from him.

Best rookie: Running back Chris Carson (seventh round) might have had a case for this distinction had he not gone down with a season-ending leg/ankle injury a month after winning the starting job out of training camp.
