One of the biggest ongoing issues for the Seattle Seahawks over recent years has been the inconsistency on their offensive line. This offseason, the team focused on improving that unit. One of their first major moves saw the team draft an in-state star that played his college ball in Pullman.
With the 72nd pick in the third round, the Seahawks picked Abe Lucas out of Washington State. The team needed a tackle, and they found one in Lucas with the potential to make an impact early. Some outlets were even saying the rookie has a chance to earn a starting spot immediately out of the gates for a depleted Seahawks squad.
