The Seattle Seahawks seemingly struck gold last year with their selections of Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas.

Cross was chosen was selected ninth overall, and Lucas was selected with the 72nd overall pick. 

Cross was projected by many as a plug-and-play starter, while Lucas was viewed as more developmental.

It did not take Lucas long to acclimate to the NFL. He posted a 68.5 overall grade, with 69.6 in pass blocking and 65.1 in run blocking per PFF. He would also be named to the PFF All-Rookie team. 

Damien Lewis is holding down one guard spot and he is doing fairly well. The other two spots on the offensive line; center and the other guard spot could use some improvement.

The center spot is currently held by recent signing Evan Brown. Brown came over from the Lions on a fairly cheap contract. He is only signed for one year and is only guaranteed one million dollars. So he you might view him as a band-aid.

Phil Haynes was recently resigned by the Seahawks to a one-year deal. He has yet to be a full-time starter in his NFL tenure and has made only five career starts. Could he turn out to be a capable starter? Sure. Could he also be viewed as a band-aid? Also yes. 

So much like the Seahawks did last year with their tackle selections; let's attempt to fortify the interior portion of their offensive line this year.

With their second pick in the first round pick 20. We will select Tennessee offensive tackle, Darnell Wright.

You may say "you just took a tackle, didn't you just say they are set at tackle?"

Yes I did, we are selecting Wright to play guard.

Now you may ask "Why?"

Wright is one of the most violent players in this draft . He is powerful in the run game, can move defenders off the line of scrimmage, and he has one of the most violent snatch traps I have seen in a long time. He is not perfect, as his hand strikes don't consistently land, and he tends to be a waist bender which leads to some balance issues. Adding him to play inside of Charles Cross would make for one violent side of the offensive line.

Dane Brugler said in his report that some teams have Wright as a guard as opposed to a tackle. 

With their first pick in round two, pick 37, we will select Minnesota center, John-Michael-Schmitz.

Schmitz is viewed by just about every analyst as a top two center prospect in this years draft class. He is a four-year starter. He earned All-American honors and led the Gophers to a top-15 ranked rushing offense, the year after they lost four starters along their offensive line. He has a wrestling background and it shows on film as he grapples with defenders. He displaces defenders with ease, especially in the run game. He does have some balance issues, but these can be ironed out. 

He does not have to play right away as you have Evan Brown on roster, but he should be able to take over after Brown's contract has expired.
