Considering how long this current Seattle Seahawks team has been together by NFL standards, it'd be easy to forget how young they are. Russell Wilson is still only 28-years-old, and the three primary members of the Legion of Boom are still under 30. If the team stays together, the Seahawks are primed for several more years of contention.

ESPN agrees. In their power rankings for the next three seasons, the Seahawks came in second. Here's what Field Yates had to say:

"Does any team find more value in places that are otherwise not regarded as gold mines? The Seahawks build the depth of their roster through late-round picks -- as is the case around the league -- but also have found stars that are foundational pieces at discounted rates in free agency (Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril arrived on modest deals) and in the middle rounds of the draft (Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor and more)."

Seattle's ability to turn middling assets into superstars is what made this era of success possible. Few teams find starters in the middle round, but the Seahawks have continuously turned those picks into Pro Bowlers. They are therefore rightfully ranked No. 1 on the list's draft rankings.

Of course, finding that much talent comes at a cost. Keeping all of those players together can get expensive. That is Louis Riddick's biggest worry for the team:

"The Legion of Boom's reign is coming to an end, with Sherman and Earl Thomas both carrying $10 million-plus cap numbers in 2018, and Chancellor, the team leader, about to become an unrestricted free agent in 2018 at the age of 30. That Seattle drafted four defensive backs this past spring is further proof that change is coming. This unit has been the heart and soul of the Seahawks for the past five seasons; when the transition is complete, where will the team get its attitude and spark?"

The only team to finish ahead of the Seahawks on this list was the New England Patriots, but you could make a reasonable argument for Seattle topping them. Tom Brady is 39-years-old. He could retire as soon as next season. There's no way you'd pick a Jimmy Garoppolo-led Patriots team over the Seahawks with Russell Wilson.

Seattle is built to win this season, but lists like these show how sustainable their success is. The Seahawks will be in contention as long as Wilson and Pete Carroll are in place.
