5 Things We Learned From Seahawks Rookie Mini-Camp

5.Seattle Has Plenty Of Options On The Offensive Line

It’s challenging to correctly evaluate offensive linemen without any pads and little contact, but, it’s still apparent that Seattle has many options on the offensive line. They are young, unproven options, but options nonetheless. For most of the week, the first team offensive line was, from right to left, Terry Poole, Germain Ifedi, Joey Hunt, Rees Odhiambo and George Fant.

Poole was a 4th round pick in 2015 but was allowed to participate this week after spending last season on the practice squad and injured reserve. Ifedi will presumably move out to right tackle at some point, but Seattle seems content with starting the 6’6, 324 pounder at right guard, at least for now.

Hunt was a 6th round pick but he appears to have a legitimate chance at usurping Justin Britt and Patrick Lewis for the starting center job if he performs well. According to reports, he meshed well with Seahawks UDFA Trevone Boykin. Odhiambo was a surprising selection in round three, but his lateral movement skills and instincts were elite for a college offensive lineman. Fant is an intriguing project. The former basketball player at Western Kentucky was signed by Seattle as an undrafted free agent to be an athletic left tackle project a la Garry Gilliam in 2014.

Next: Brandon Browner and the return of the Bandit

Throw in established veterans J’Marcus Webb, Bradley Sowell, Justin Britt, Mark Glowinski and Patrick Lewis, and Seattle has a deep offensive line with plenty of quality competition. May the best five guys win!
