I don't think many other teams with a top-five(ish) quarterback would be projected to win only eight games. In the end, it comes down to Russell Wilson. Obviously, those players will need a bit of an adjustment period, but I wouldn't be surprised if Pete Carroll is able to get the most out of those young players almost immediately. In the draft, the Seahawks were able to replace their outgoing players by selecting a defensive end, safety, and receiver with their top three picks. And since Wilson took over as the starting quarterback in 2012, the Seahawks haven't won fewer than nine games in a single season. The Seahawks might've lost Frank Clark and Earl Thomas, and they might be without Doug Baldwin, but I just don't see them becoming an eight-win team. Instead, the Seahawks won 10 games to journey back to the postseason - and they did that with a very flawed offensive approach that depended way too much on the running game. Last year seemed like the perfect time for the Seahawks to take another step back after a 9-7 season and mass exodus of longtime contributors on the defensive side of the ball. I see 7-4 conservatively at that point, meaning the Chargers would need three wins among Denver (road), Jacksonville (road), Minnesota (home), Oakland (home) and Kansas City (road). Packers (home), Raiders (road) and Chiefs (home) lead into the Week 12 bye. Avoiding that slow start might be imperative as Denver, Pittsburgh, at Tennessee and at Chicago wait in the next quadrant. The schedule is tough but manageable: Colts (home), Lions (away), Texans (home) and Dolphins (away) make up the typical Chargers September swoon. Pairing Nassir Adderley with Derwin James and having the triple-safety option with Adrian Phillips gives Gus Bradley a lot to play with.ĭepth is a concern but this is a stacked roster. Denzel Perryman fronts a questionable group of linebackers they need health (ahem, Thomas Davis) at this position to avoid the "all DB defense" the Patriots gashed in the playoffs. The defensive line - Joey Bosa, Melvin Ingram, Brandon Mebane, Justin Jones and new first-round pick Jerry Tillery - is stacked. There's enough returning on the offensive line - Russell Okung, Mike Pouncey, Dan Feeney, Michael Schofield - to feel confident about Rivers protection, especially with the upside depth they have in Forrest Lamp (2017 second-round pick) and Trey Pipkins (2019 third-rounder). Los Angeles is loaded at the skill positions with Melvin Gordon, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Hunter Henry. Philip Rivers just keeps on grinding out great seasons as he builds a Hall of Fame resume. It's also about Tom Telesco building out one of the most complete rosters in the entire NFL, culminating with an excellent 2019 NFL Draft class, one that is flying under the radar. This is not just about the Chiefs, of course. But I think, like last year, it should be reversed. The Chiefs are the current favorites to win the division, which is absolutely understandable. This is heavily priced, but I would rather pay the juice than wait until it moves up to 10 games, which I think it absolutely will once we get any sort of news about Tyreek Hill.
