First Look at the 53-man Roster

Here is a rough look at what the final 53-man roster might look like. Obvious items for debate are the number of wide receivers, defensive lineman, and defensive backs, and how the running back/fullback situation will play out. The team will keep five, but I am sure a lot of people think Marquis Weeks should be included over Josh Parry.

Injuries will have a lot to do with how things shake out as we get closer, and almost certainly claim one of the defensive lineman or defensive backs. Plenty of people will be down on David Greene again, but the #3 QB position is even less important with the experience Seneca Wallace gained last year.

The obvious void is with the pass-catchers. The Seahawks will probably go with 5 receivers and 3 tight ends, but there is a lack of talent at tight end on the roster right now, and any of the young receivers could emerge (Ben Obomanu, Courtney Taylor, Jordan Kent). Keeping 6 receivers would probably mean sacrificing either a DT or safety.
