The Seahawks have elected to promote from within to take Ken Norton Jr.’s place as defensive coordinator. According to the Seattle Times, assistant head coach Clint Hurtt is expected to be named his successor. Hurtt has a background as a defensive line expert, which not coincidentally is the area this team needs to improve most. Fielding an aggressive front-seven that creates more sacks and turnovers than they did in 2021 will require some schematic adjustments, but they also need to upgrade their personnel in the trenches. We have already tinkered with an all-linemen and an all-offense draft class. Now let’s try out an all defensive draft with an emphasis on the front line.
