What about offensive line on Day 2?

With three weeks until the draft, most of the focus around the Seahawks is on getting them a cornerback and running back.

One position that is not being mentioned a lot for Seattle is offensive line. That’s because the Hawks have one of the best lines they have had during the Schneider era. Of course it is all relative. This line was ranked 15^th in the NFL last season by Pro Football Focus and 17^th by Pro Football Network. Only the 2020 unit has ranked higher since 2010 (when John Schneider became GM).

The Hawks obviously are locked in at the tackles and left guard for the next few years, which is great news. But center and right guard are positions that can be upgraded. Might the Hawks consider it, even with just four picks?

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com lists interior line as the third-best position in this draft (behind edge rusher and linebacker).

The site’s No. 2 draft analyst (behind Daniel Jeremiah) said: “There hasn’t been a draft with four full rounds worth of quality interior offensive linemen in quite some time. This year’s prospect pool offers just that.

“There is a clear Big Three at guard with Vega Ioane, Chase Bisontis and Emmanuel Pregnon leading the way, but Keylan Rutledge will be a strong Day 2 option. Furthermore, this draft is filled with potential tackle-to-guard converts who bolster the position group even more. Meanwhile, Connor Lew, Sam Hecht, Logan Jones and Brian Parker II could all become future starting centers, while Trey Zuhn III might not be far behind. The number of starters and the depth into Round 5 is what helps this group stand out.”

We have mocked around the idea of the Hawks drafting a lineman. Lew, Hecht, Jones and Parker all could be Day 2 options, and Zuhn could be a Day 3 consideration.

Jalen Sundell will be a restricted free agent next year, and Anthony Bradford will be a UFA. So it would make sense to upgrade the depth and competition right now.

NFL.com’s grades for Lew, Hecht, Parker and Jones are all higher than the grades for Sundell, Bradford and Olu Oluwatimi were.

Three of the four most popular mock third-round picks by Seattle are centers: Jake Slaughter (the top center at the Combine, per Next Gen Stats), Jones and Parker.

Here’s one way it could go:

Corner first?

Most mocks are giving the Seahawks a cornerback at 32, according to Draft IQ.

In fact, a bunch of recent mocks projected the Hawks taking versatile Clemson corner Avieon Terrell (he exacerbated a hamstring injury at his private workout this week).

Tennessee’s Colton Hood and South Carolina’s Brandon Cisse (Nick Emmanwori’s college teammate) have also been commonly mocked to Seattle at 32.

As we have mentioned before, the corner class is quite deep. Zierlein ranks it fifth among the 11 positions, and the consensus big board ranks it as the third deepest. So corner does not have to be the first pick.

The Hawks added former first-rounder Noah Igbinoghene to compete with Nehemiah Pritchett for the third spot – for now. The Hawks could end up skipping corner for safety – South Carolina’s Jalen Kilgore (another former teammate of Emmanwori) looks like a third-round option the Hawks are interested in.

As Mike Macdonald said at the owners meetings Monday: “There’s great opportunity right now in our secondary to go carve yourself out a great role.”

Would Price last to 64?

Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price is the most common pick for Seattle at 64 (16% of mock drafts), per Draft IQ.

But would he last that long?

The consensus board ranks Price at 46. Jeremiah ranks him 40^th overall. ESPN’s Matt Miller, in a seven-round mock, had Price going 49^th to Minnesota. NFL.com’s Chad Reuter, in a recent four-round mock, had him sliding to the 49ers at 58.

Almost no one thinks Price will slide all the way to 64. If the Hawks want him, they will have to use their top pick or trade down to no deeper than the mid-40s.

But there are a couple other options if the Hawks are thinking of picking a tailback.

Reuter had the Hawks taking Arkansas speedster Mike Washington Jr. in the third round. Washington has been the No. 2 most popular third-rounder for Seattle, per Draft IQ. Miller actually slotted Washington to Seattle at 64.

What about Coleman?

Another option gaining steam is Jonah Coleman, who had a much better 2024 than 2025 at UW. Per Draft IQ, Coleman is tied for the third most popular third-round pick for Seattle (behind Washington and tied with centers Jones and Parker). He is No. 89 on the consensus board, so taking him at 96 is realistic.

That pick might come down to Kilgore or Coleman (unless the Hawks can move down from 32, add more picks, and somehow get both).

The Hawks have given a lot of attention to Coleman this offseason. As he told SI.com: “I visited the Seattle Seahawks. I met the GM, and that was great. I had a great conversation with their running backs coach. We saw eye to eye on literally everything we were talking about. We ran an identical offense at Washington to many NFL teams. The terminology was very similar.”

Here’s how a “Coleman” draft could look:

And here’s one with some fancy dancing that netted both Kilgore and Coleman:

The next Michael Bennett?

Missouri’s Zion Young, who had a Top 30 visit scheduled with the Seahawks this week, is one of the top edge rushers the Hawks might consider in the top 40 or so. He is 38^th on the consensus board.

At 6-6 and 262, Young is a major edge setter who would seem to be a solid replacement for DeMarcus Lawrence when he retires (likely in 2027).

NFL analyst Doug Farrar said of Young: “I used to say of Michael Bennett that he weighs 260, moves like he’s 240, and hits like he’s 280. Zion Young could become that kind of player.”
