Why Seahawks should target Washington guard Brandon Scherff

Free agency and the start of the new league year are just one week away and NFL teams around the league are busy analyzing potential targets to add to their rosters.

Mark Schofield of USA TODAY’s Touchdown Wire recently took a look at all 32 clubs and proposed one player each team should target.

If available, Schofield believes the Seahawks should consider Redskins guard Brandon Scherff.

“While left tackle seems to be locked down, with the presence of Duane Brown, the Seahawks could use a boost along the rest of the offensive line,” Schofield begins. “That is where Schreff potentially comes in. He and Thuney are the premier free agent guards available this free agency period, and Scherff could step in and immediately bolster the interior of the Seattle OL.”

“He does come with some injury questions, as he missed eight games in 2018 with a torn pectoral muscle and he missed five games in 2019 with elbow and shoulder injuries,” Schofield notes, however.

There is no question quarterback Russell Wilson could use more protection, and while most pundits are focused on shoring up Seattle’s defensive line, beefing up on Wilson’s guys upfront should also be a top priority for the Seahawks this offseason.
