Pick: Kelvin Banks Jr., OL, Texas
"They have to improve their offensive line and Banks could do that. Some teams think he could be an All-Pro guard, but he could also play either tackle spot. This makes sense."
Pick: Tyler Booker, OL, Alabama
"After investing in Sam Darnold during free agency, the Seahawks' top priority should be enhancing the new quarterback's comfortability. In a draft where many top offensive linemen are college tackles who project as NFL guards, Booker is a pure interior player who can provide what Seattle needs."
Pick: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Pick: Grey Zabel, OG/OC, North Dakota State
"I am drafting Zabel here to start at one of the Seahawks guard spots, since I see Olu Oluwatimi as a solid starter at the center position right now. For an offensive line that can never seem to stay healthy, Zabel's versatility will allow them to get their best five out there. Plus, his athleticism and easy moving ability are a great fit for the Seahawks' zone- and boot-heavy offense under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak."
Pick: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
"The Seahawks signed Cooper Kupp to a three-year deal but can get out of it as early as next offseason. Kupp's skill set also overlaps closely with that of Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Golden's, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. He has 4.29 wheels and makes his money on deep shots from the outside. The biggest knock on him is that his stats aren't likely to live up to the space he creates, which works well for a Seahawks offense centered around JSN out of the slot."
Pick: Grey Zabel, OG/OC, North Dakota State
"Seattle is in serious need of an X receiver, but without one on the board in this range, they select a versatile option in Zabel to slot in anywhere on the interior of their porous offensive line that surrendered interior pressure at a bottom-five rate (16.9%) last season."
Pick: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
"Banks gave up three sacks over 42 career starts at left tackle for the Longhorns. He's agile for 6-foot-5 and 315 pounds, and he has some pop. The Seahawks have Charles Cross at left tackle, so Banks would help elsewhere on this lackluster offensive line. Right tackle Abraham Lucas has played in just 13 games over the past two seasons. The guard spots are both issues. Banks could fit in at any of those spots.
New quarterback Sam Darnold ranked seventh in the NFL in QBR when he had a clean pocket in Minnesota last season (74.5). Facing pressure, he was 22nd (23.4). So it's pretty clear Seattle has to address the pass protection to maximize the Darnold signing."
Pick: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
"Banks is a premier pass-blocker who can begin his career at guard and kick out to tackle if either of Charles Cross or Abraham Lucas aren't retained in coming years."
Pick: Tyler Booker, OL, Alabama
"Booker's not a perfect prospect. Scouts wanted to see more consistency from him as a junior, but they also understand that Booker's been one of the SEC's most physically impressive offensive linemen since the first game of his true freshman season. It feels like Seattle has been looking for a prospect like this for at least five years."
