29. Seattle Seahawks – Emmanuel Pregnon, G, Oregon

Someone check on John Schneider if he uses consecutive first-round draft picks on offensive guards after taking Grey Zabel this year. Still, this is one of the few problem areas for Seattle's roster, and Pregnon's forcefulness would come in handy for an offense still hoping to establish some roots in the ground game.

I think next year will be open. Probably not losing a lot of talent and we have the cap space to fill holes before the draft. They always talk about doing it but this will truly be a BPA regardless of position upcoming draft.

Now, it is highly regarded as a very week draft at the top and throughout so I could see us trading out of this draft as much as possible for 2027

I don’t know that I would call the draft weak. If you need a qb, yes. Maybe average at Tackle. I think there are some real studs at guard, and a couple really high end C.

But this class is super deep at WR, there are a couple generational LBs, if they declare. I think there are some stud safety’s, and DL. Maybe not the high end DE. Some really good RBs. Love looks like an absolute stud. TEs looking like a strong group in the top 3-5 guys.

Every person who studies the draft for a living has said it’s the weakest draft in a very long time. Rob staton says there’s maybe 4 players with 1st round grades and only about 66 draft able players in total. He’s far from the only one saying that too.

They also said that same thing last year. But I also see guys like McShay saying it’s the strongest WR draft in years.

Sometimes when you don't have 5 guys that are anointed the leagues saviors the rest of the class are guys that will be dependable but may not highlight reel players. These kinds of drafts show who the Good GM's are versus guys that just think they know something.

I trust John to draft blue collar talent even in weak drafts

Also seeing draft people call this the best LB class in years. Not that we will be drafting anywhere near getting the top 3, but I don’t think this draft is as bad as people are trying to say.
