With their fourth and final 5th round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks addressed the offensive line for the first time, selecting Ohio State tackle Jamarco Jones 168th overall. Jones was a consistent starter for the Buckeyes over his final two seasons in Columbus, starting 27 straight games to close out his career.
Why Jones will succeed
The selection of Jones is a continuation of the team’s recent trend of targeting offensive lineman who come out of college with great success and pedigree, something that began with last year’s selection of Ethan Pocic.
