Seattle will enter Saturday with five picks over Rounds 4-7, including a pair in the 4th and a pair...

The Seattle Seahawks had a huge need along the interior of their offensive line coming into the NFL Draft. John Schneider knew it. Seahawks fans knew.

This time, the Seahawks flipped their draft focus on the offensive line.

It’s all about the trenches thus far for the Seattle Seahawks in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Having taken Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy II at No. 16, it was a long wait for Seattle’s next selection. Without a second-round pick, the Seahawks sat out the first half of Day 2, stayed at No. 81 instead of making a trade, and selected UConn guard Christian Hanyes. Normally when you...
