The Seattle Seahawks went into this draft knowing their consistent weakness was the offensive line, and they made it a point to deal with it. Seattle used their first pick to select Charles Cross, and three selections later the Seahawks drafted tackle Abraham Lucas from Washington State University.
With all the 12’s east of the Cascade Mountains likely thrilled, Lucas is staying in the Pacific Northwest and will help anchor Seattle’s much maligned big men up front.
Seattle’s picks have generally had positive buzz and Abe Lucas is another hit.
Let’s go!!!!! Abraham Lucas let’s get it bro!!!!

Abe Lucas is one of the best tackles I’ve covered in my time covering college football.
Phenomenal talent, driven by hard work and extremely talented.
Washington native and this must be the dream. #GOCOUGS

Abraham Lucas just provoked a celebration at 2:53am over here. What a pick. Had a R1-2 grade for me. The best on-field OL performer at the combine, great at the Senior Bowl. Tremendous run blocker. Amazing pick #Seahawks

Seahawks clapping cause they’re drafting a local kid. WSU’s Abe Lucas only has to make a trek over the pass for his new home. https://t.co/ERQSaHlJnC

Abraham Lucas suggests the #Seahawks are going pure best player available. Comp at both tackle spots is vicious. Didn't love his tape but the profile in the 3rd round is real value. 6ft6, 315lbs, 4.92s 40, 33 7/8" arms, 7.25s 3-cone. 4.40s short shuttle, 27" vertical, 107" broad

The Seattle Seahawks have taken out of this draft thus far:
Charles Cross, the best pass blocking LT
Boye Mafe, one of the pass rushers
Kenneth Walker III, the best RB
Abraham Lucas, the best right RT
I just did the worst cartwheel you will ever see and it felt great!
