The Seattle Seahawks haven’t received many accolades this offseason and neither has their draft class as far as individual players are concerned. However, one Seattle newbie has made NFL draft analyst Chad Reuter’s 2022 Offensive All-Rookie Team.
Tackle Charles Cross, selected by the Seahawks with the No. 9 overall pick out of Mississippi State, joins fellow rookie tackle, Giants’ Even Neal, in Reuter’s lineup.
“Speaking of the Seahawks, their selection of Cross filled a huge gap at left tackle (as did their selection of right tackle Abraham Lucas in the third round),” writes Reuter. “It won’t be a surprise if the former Mississippi State Bulldogs’ steady pass protection reminds Seattle fans of a healthy Russell Okung.”
Seattle has been in need of upgrading the offensive line and Cross is expected to receive the starting nod at left tackle this season. Exactly which quarterback he is tasked with projecting, though, still remains up in the air.
