The Seattle Seahawks are in a privileged position right now. Just like most Super Bowl champions, they don't have huge needs to fill in the roster. That said, even the best things can be improved, and this team's is no exception.
If we're nitpicky, the Seahawks' interior offensive line was shaky at best last season. RG Anthony Bradford didn't do much to help the running game, and he should be on thin ice as they enter the season as defending champions.
That should especially be the case if the Seahawks somehow manage to land Oregon's Emmanuel Pregnon in the second round of the draft. While he may not be there at No. 64, he should be an obvious selection if available.
Emmanuel Pregnon gives the Seattle Seahawks just what they need
Pregnon's huge frame and extensive experience at left guard make him a potential day-one starter for whichever team gets him. As a six-year player in college, he'll be a 25-year-old rookie, so some teams might feel he's closer to a finished product and thus not have much upside.
That would clearly work in Seattle's favor, given that he's projected to be taken around the early 40s in most big boards. Still, since it's not a flashy position and teams often value upside over NFL-readiness, he's still a potential option.
Pregnon was a bit of a late bloomer, but he grew to become a reliable guard who's rarely caught out of position. He excelled at opening running lanes for the Ducks as a one-year starter in Oregon after stops at Wyoming and USC, and he was a finalist for the Joe Moore Award, which is given to the best offensive lineman in the nation.
He's already grown into his body. Standing at 6-foot-4 and 314 pounds and boasting an 82 7/8 wingspan, he's an absolute unit of a human being and an unmovable object once he sets his feet. While not the most athletic lineman out there, he's got elite balance and was one of the most disciplined linemen in college football, drawing just one penalty in 2025.
The Seahawks won't have Kenneth Walker III to do most of the heavy lifting out of the backfield for them. They'll likely turn to a committee of lesser options while Zach Charbonnet gets back to full strength, and they'll need someone to create running lanes for them.
Pregnon is a true mauler. He's the type of player you rarely notice is on the field, which is actually a good thing for an offensive lineman. The Seahawks could use some size and strength in the interior, and even if Bradford starts early in the season, that could be his job to lose by Week 8.
