Seattle Seahawks: 3 Big takeaways from Preseason Week 2

Seahawks have depth at wide receiver

Jaron Brown and David Moore recorded two catches a piece, going for 74 and 71 yards, respectively, in Week 2. It must be comforting for Wilson and Carroll to know they have two players deep on the receiver depth chart that can make plays. Erratic play from Tyler Lockett and health questions with Brandon Marshall mean the team may need to rely on Brown and Moore during the season.

Brown went undrafted in 2013 and has been contributing quietly on the Arizona Cardinals for the last five seasons, with his best year coming in 2017. He cashed in during free agency, signing a two-year deal with the Seahawks. Moore was a seventh-round pick by the team in 2017, just like Carson. He didn’t record any stats last year, but seems primed to contribute now.

While Doug Baldwin is locked in as the team’s ace receiver, all positions behind him will likely open up during the season. I’ve already discussed the issues with Lockett and Marshall, which could open up room for Brown and Moore to steal snaps.

It’s unlikely either player with develop into anything more than a role player, but that’s fine because the Seahawks need more role players on the offense. Consistency is something they’ve been looking for at the backup receiver positions since the departure of Jermaine Kearse. The team might find the stability they need in a large wide receiver rotation this year.
