With just two weeks remaining, Pete Prisco of CBS Sports takes a closer look at the Seattle Seahawks draft needs heading into this year’s draft.

Prisco evaluates Seattle’s needs at each position, and has this to say about Seattle’s situation at linebacker.

Prisco: This is the real weak spot on the roster. K.J. Wright, who started 12 games as a rookie, is the only linebacker on the roster who started for Seattle last season. He has a chance to be a really good player. The Seahawks lost middle linebacker David Hawthorne to the Saints in free agency, but signed Barrett Ruud to replace him. That's a step down. Ruud is just OK. The other spot should be a battle between Adrian Moten and others. I expect the Seahawks to spend an early pick on a linebacker, maybe even in the first round.”

Clare Farnsworth of Seahawks.com says the team is a more focused group with head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider working their third draft together.
