This was the starting lineup for the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season: Left Tackle: Duane BrownLeft Guard: Damien LewisCenter: Kyle Fuller/Ethan PocicRight Guard: Gabe JacksonRight...
At OTAs on Thursday, Waldron expressed that if it unfolds as such, the team would be fine if we see Cross and Lucas as the starters.
“In my mind, by the time we get to that first game and the best guys are playing, they’ll have earned those positions,” Waldron said . “And if it’s the two rookies, that means that they’ve beat out some guys that are good players in their own right. So, we have a lot of competition at those tackle positions. The draft obviously has taken that competition to a different level, as far as younger guys that are competing against each other. So, I think it’s going to be a great thing in the long run.
Lest we forget the immediate depth at both tackle spots and center. Stone Forsythe didn’t play any offensive snaps after the project tackle was taken in Round 6 of last year’s draft, and the aforementioned Curhan didn’t start until December. Meanwhile at center, beneath Blythe is Fuller, who ideally never sees the field after his disastrous 2021, Dakoda Shepley as a guard/center swing, and I suppose you can include Damien Lewis with his one emergency start at the middle of the line. Everyone else is camp fodder and/or was on the practice squad in the previous season.
If there’s any part of the Seahawks roster that most clearly screams “rebuild”, it’s offensive line. And perhaps the most important theme is the youth movement. Gabe Jackson and Austin Blythe will both be 30, whereas every other projected starter is no older than 25. There’s a massive experience gap between those two and everyone else in the expected lineup, but the hope is that Cross, Lucas, and Lewis are all part of this squad in the long-term.
