Seahawks mock draft 7.0: Building the offensive line of the future
By Lee Vowell
Rounds 6 and 7
Pick Analysis. Guard. 214. Scouting Report. LukeGoedeke. player. 36. Central Michigan
In round 6, Seattle will take Goedeke who is huge. He is 6’5″ and 310 pounds but will definitely be able to add more weight and will do so in an NFL weight-training program. Goedeke likely will not be ready to play in 2022, of not very much, as the speed of the NFL is going to be a great adjustment for him.
That said, Goedeke has the raw ability to be a starter by 2023 and this is the draft where Seattle is going to build its future offensive line. By 2024, the Seattle Week 1 O-line might be Ekwonu at left tackle, Goedeke at left guard, Tyler Linderbaum at center, Damien Lewis at right guard and a 2023 draftee at right tackle. That should be a good unit for years.
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Wide receiver. BoMelton. player. Rutgers. 229. 36
Melton chose to go to Rutgers because his father and his brother did. That’s admirable. But Melton was probably hurt in the long run by going to a school that really couldn’t use him well enough. At Rutgers, Melton played with a bunch of bad quarterbacks who couldn’t get Melton the ball deep or in space.
dark. Next. 3 potential landing spots for Tyler Lockett
There is a very good chance that Melton is a better pro than he was at Rutgers. He has excellent speed and some wiggle to his game. Plus, playing off of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, Melton would see a lot of one-on-one coverage and he can beat defenders with his speed. He would help Seattle’s offense increase in productivity.
