The Seattle Seahawks have done a lot of good on the defensive side of the football to start the season, perhaps with one of the best units in the league.

Playing as well as they have to start the year, unfortunately, the Seahawks haven't put themselves in a position to land a good draft pick, but that isn't a big deal considering how well the team has played and their opportunity to win a Super Bowl. As things currently stand, they have the 27th overall pick.
When predicting who they might take with that pick, Mike Renner of CBS Sports recently predicted that they’d select Christen Miller, a defensive lineman out of Georgia.
“Miller is yet another versatile defensive tackle to add to the Seahawks' rotation up front. The Seahawks thrive by stopping the run with their front four, and Miller can do just that. He's got a prototypical 3-4 defensive end body type with long arms to two-gap in the NFL,” he wrote.

Continuing to improve on that side of the football is always a focus for a team like this, so it wouldn't be too surprising to see them go that route.
