Ahead of the start of free agency, Insider is providing buyer's guides for all 32 teams: biggest need positions from Football Outsiders, top targets from KC Joyner and Matt Williamson and predictions on how everything will play out from our NFL Nation team reporters.

Included below are links to every team's article. This is the entry for the Seattle Seahawks.

Biggest needs

1. Wide receiver: You probably heard that no Kansas City wide receiver caught a touchdown last year, but Seattle's wideouts were next to last with only seven scores. Doug Baldwin, allegedly Seattle's top wideout, didn't make the top 30 in either DVOA (which measures value per target) or DYAR (total value), then gained only 147 yards in three playoff games. Jermaine Kearse was outside the top 60 in both DVOA and DYAR, and though he caught the game-winning touchdown in the NFC Championship Game, remember that Seattle fell behind in large part because Kearse dropped two passes that turned into interceptions.
