I really think they're done at DE. Hughes isn't going anywhere. Mario Addison was brought in to start on the other side. Quinton Jefferson was Seattle's most consistent pass rusher last season and will be first off the bench, at worst. Trent Murphy is still on the roster and I don't think Beane and McDermott are as eager to dump him as the fan base is. I could see him restructuring if push came to shove. And then there's Daryl Johnson who showed a lot of promise as a late round pick last season. 

 

That's 5. Traditionally, you keep 4 DE's. Even if they were to move on from Murphy, I think DE's all set.

I think Jefferson is more a 'tweener', 3 technique or 5 technique in run situations (shaq role).  Not sure they see Jefferson as a true edge guy.  I think they have a couple guys on their radar for round 2 or 3, after that, I would be surprised if they went edge.  

 

A pass rushing edge, complimentary RB, and corner/safety depth will likely make the most impact this season.
