The Seahawks have had managed exactly one good offensive line pick in the last 12 years. With their first selection ever in the draft leading the franchise, Pete Carroll and John Schneider chose Oklahoma State’s Russell Okung at No. 6 overall back in 2010. Okung went on to be a respectable starter at left tackle for Seattle the next six years and was effectively their only above-average lineman for much of that time.
Heading into the 2022 NFL draft, Seattle once again has a need at left tackle. Veteran Duane Brown is still a free agent and will turn 37 years old just before next season begins, so he’s not a long-term solution.
