Seahawks' lingering offseason questions: What are the top 5 position battles to watch before the season?

Adjusting to the realities of the COVID-19 outbreak meant that NFL teams were forced to conduct their offseason programs virtually.

And that meant no on-field workouts the past month, with players instead Zooming into meetings for a few hours a day.

Usually, teams could have had up to 13 full-squad on-field workouts in their OTA (Organized Team Activities) and mini-camp portions of the offseason spread out over the last month or so.

Those sessions don't allow for full pads or hitting, so position jobs aren't usually won or lost in the spring.

But those workouts do give coaches at least a starting point of an idea of how players look on the field and how certain positon groups might come together.

That, obviously, is contingent on how things progress with the pandemic and what moves the NFL has to make as a result.

But assuming teams start taking the field then, here are five positions that will be particularly intriguing to watch for the Seahawks.
