The Seattle Seahawks have assembled a dynamic collection of skill-players, yet the offense failed to live up to expectations in 2023.
Despite explosive running back Kenneth Walker in the backfield and matchup nightmare D.K. Metcalf on the perimeter headlining a gifted receiving corps, the Seahawks finished last season ranked 21st in total offense, while averaging just 21.4 points per game, 16th in the league
Many of the Seahawks’ woes stem from an inconsistent offensive line, but general manager John Schneider may have an opportunity to upgrade that group during the 2024 NFL Draft.
How Seattle Seahawks can Foritfy Offensive Line During the NFL Draft
An Achilles heel of the Seahawks’ offense, Pro Football Focus lists Seattle’s offensive line as one of the worst position groups in the league.
“Seattle’s starting trio on the interior as things stand, per Ourlads depth charts, would be Tremayne Anchrum Jr. at left guard, Anthony Bradford at right guard and Olusegun Oluwatimi at center,” Gordon McGuinness points out for PFF.”Anchrum and Bradford have combined to play 229 NFL regular-season snaps, while Bradford earned a 38.9 PFF pass-blocking grade on 419 snaps last season.
“Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson, the 19th overall player on the PFF big board, would make sense with the Titans’ first-round pick, but it wouldn’t be a shock to see them spend multiple top-100 draft selections to bolster the interior.”
The Seahawks are slated to pick No. 18 overall in the NFL Draft, which could be the sweet spot for landing one of the top interior linemen on the board in this year’s class, which would go a long way towards strengthening one of the biggest weaknesses on the roster.
