Truth is practically every NFL team meets with every meaningful prospect during the run up to the draft. So, “meetings” with college players don’t mean much, especially at an event like the Combine. Nevertheless, it’s always interesting to hear which players the Seahawks are talking to.
Yesterday we learned that they’ve spoken with Washington tight end prospect Cade Otton, who’s projected to be a third-round pick. A couple more names have trickled in since then.
According to Corbin Smith at Sports Illustrated, the team has also met with Washington State offensive lineman Abraham Lucas.
Washington State tackle Abraham Lucas just told me he has met with #Seahawks.

Lucas played right tackle for the Cougars but could make sense at guard. He might fit for the Seahawks in that starting RT Brandon Shell is about to become a free agent and they also need to find someone who can potentially take over for Dune Brown at left tackle when he retires.
Smith is also reporting that Seattle has met with Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks.
Only two I heard about today were Cade Otton and Treylon Burks. But there were some players who weren't able to make interview times, so… there should be more that come to light next few days. https://t.co/fSagpFJJcw

Burks is the same size as D.K. Metcalf (6-foot-3, 225 pounds) and he posted over 1,100 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. However, he’ll be long gone before the Seahawks are on the clock at No. 41, so this is just due diligence.
