Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Seahawks never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Cisse has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lawson.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
