The Athletic: Hawks are #17 in their Power Rankings

Hawk 2a

I don't know about Denver. They have a pretty good defense. #1 in pressures and sacks, stout against the run. They could get better against the pass. They drafted a CB with their 1st round pick so that should help with that. They scored 25 pts/g with a rookie QB. They have a really good offensive line. They are on the up swing. But they couldn't beat KC or LA, so that would have to change.

Maybe, but the Hawks beat them last season and according to most rankings Seattle had a better draft class.

Prisco's rankings are... something.

27

Seahawks

They traded Geno Smith and signed Sam Darnold to play quarterback. He's younger, but the question is whether he is better. The offensive line should be better with the addition of first-rounder Grey Zabel.

11

That "11" is how many spots we dropped from his last set of rankings.

Also, the next biggest drop was the Vikings, who fell 7 spots even though "they've improved on both the offensive and defensive lines", because of losing Darnold. The same quarterback who made us drop 11 spots because we don't know if he's an upgrade. Makes sense.

If Prisco has them at 27, they are definitely winning the Owl this season.
