The Seattle Seahawks have been one of the NFL’s most successful teams over the last decade, but they have, more often than not, fielded offensive lines that have ranked at or near the bottom of the league. Having former offensive line coach Tom Cable in charge of personnel for that group from 2011-2017 certainly didn’t help, and outside of the occasional expenditure, the front five hasn’t seemed to be a top priority for head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider.
Now, as the Seahawks are in the throes of a complete rebuild, Carroll and Schneider are all about getting the best possible guys — at least, in the draft. They selected Mississippi State left tackle Charles Cross with the ninth overall pick in 2022, and Cross projects to be an immediate outstanding starter. No worries there.
