The Seattle Seahawks will be one one of the top seeds in the NFC this postseason, despite the fact that they have really played up and down football throughout the 2016 regular season. The offense has been getting the job done as of late, after struggling to score points for a while during the latter half of the season. The loss of Earl Thomas in the secondary has proven to be a bigger issue than expected, as the team has allowed at least 30 points in two of the last three games.

Still, the team is loaded on both sides of the ball, and if they can get their running game going, they should be tough to stop come January. The issue with this team is they need to add depth to not only the running back position, but more importantly, at the cornerback spot. Richard Sherman is still one of the best in the business, but he needs another strong, athletic player on the other side.

Enter Sidney Jones, who plays at the University of Washington, and is one of the best cornerbacks in college football. Jones has been a shutdown corner for the Huskies this season, who are currently one of the four teams participating in the College Football Playoff. This class is loaded with talent at the cornerback position, and some scouts feel that Jones could be the best of the bunch.
