If Seidel is beating DC at 133, you either let Seidel go there or you RS
him. Seidel looks good enough to AA, maybe even a give a deep run at 133. If he's a 133 title contender, he needs to go at that weight unless you make a strategic decision to hold him out this year.
If Seidel goes 141 instead of 133, you run the risk having two qualifiers and no AAs at both 133 and 141.
I feel the same way about 149. Whoever is better there needs to go there. If Miller doesn't win the 149 spot, he or Church should go at 157. No need to burn a shirt on NN or Gaj if they aren't wrestling at their optimal weight.
I'm kinda leaning toward letting Seidel go 133 this year and RSing him next season; running with NN at 149, Miller at 157 and Church at 165; and RSing Gaj and Burton. I think all 3 of those guys (Seidel, Gaj, and Burton) are title contenders down the line, but Gaj and Burton will benefit from more development.

I cannot see how you keep Seidel out of the lineup somewhere

Seidel is a true 133 right now. So is Campbell. Both have the frame for 141

You can RS Gaj/NN next year when 141/149 are spoken for.
