Bob Condotta: With the roster just about complete, have the Seahawks made themselves better?

There's only one real offseason goal for any NFL team, such as the Seahawks _ get better.

Whether the Seahawks or any NFL has done that obviously can't be known until games are played.

Also, the offseason never really ends.

While we're past the draft and the bulk of free agency, there's still lots of talent that can be acquired between now and the first game of the season.

A partial list of players the Seahawks have acquired in May or after just since 2017 includes offensive linemen J.R. Sweezy and Duane Brown, linebacker Mychal Kendricks, defensive linemen Jadeveon Clowney, Ziggy Ansah and Sheldon Richardson, receiver Brandon Marshall and cornerback Justin Coleman.

So, the team you're seeing today may not be the one that lines up Sept. 13 against the Falcons in Atlanta, let alone the team that will play in November or December.

In general, the 90-man roster the Seahawks have assembled is pretty much the one they'll have once training camp begins in July.

Which makes it a good time to try to answer that central question of this offseason _ are the Seahawks indeed better?

Let's take a look at each position group and decide if it is better, worse or the same.
