With 12 of the team's projected 22 starters for the upcoming season unearthed in the past three drafts, the Seahawks are staring at the opening of a three- to five-year window to compete for a Super Bowl.
Seahawks general manager John Schneider has mixed results drafting receivers during his tenure in Seattle.
They started as teammates at Al Davies Boys and Girls Club playing youth football, one a running back and the other, a year younger, an offensive guard.
