Here's a quick pre-Draft, mid-free agency stab at what I think the defensive roster could end up looking like after final cut-downs. Obviously, it's preliminary and it's just a quick way to begin to picture what the defense will look like. I've estimated Seattle will go with 25 on defense, 25 on offense, and 3 specialists for their 53-man roster.
