Offensive line

Left tackle: Walter Jones

Left guard: Steve Hutchinson

Center: Max Unger

Right guard: Chris Gray

Right tackle: Howard Ballard

Look at the names above. Now think about why I had Marshawn Lynch as the best tailback in Seahawks history instead of Shaun Alexander. Alexander ran behind four guys on the Seattle dream team offensive line. No disrespect to Alexander because he was good. But Lynch would have been even better had he had Alexander’s line.

Walter Jones, of course, is one of the best left tackles in the history of the NFL. He is a Hall of Fame player. Jones made the Pro Bowl nine times and was a four-time First-Team All-Pro.

Hutchinson played beside Jones and helped form one of the best left sides ever, if not the best. He made three straight Pro Bowls between 2003 and 2005 and was twice a First-Team All-Pro. Hutchinson will be in the Hall of Fame one day.

Unger was traded to the New Orleans Saints for Jimmy Graham and the trade still may not have been worth it. He was a two-time Pro Bowler with Seattle and was still really good with the Saints. In fact, he made the Pro Bowl in 2018.

Chris Gray played with Seattle from 1998 through 2007. Between 2000 and 2007 Gray missed just one game and started every other. This included a team-record string of 121 straight starts.

Ballard may be the weakest link in this offensive line chain but the massive human being would have fit perfectly on today’s Seahawks. Signed as a free agent before the 1994 season, Ballard missed just six games over five seasons in Seattle and started 74 games.
