Round 6, Pick 214: Calvin Throckmorton, OT, Oregon
Prior to free agency, taking an offensive lineman (or two) early in the draft seemed like the most reasonable course of action for the Seahawks.
However, the team has already added four offensive linemen to their team via free agency: B.J. Finney, Brandon Shell, Cedric Ogbuehi and Chance Warmack.
Even if Germain Ifedi and Mike Iupati both sign elsewhere, this team has a lot of players competing for spots along the offensive line next season.
There’s still a decent chance Seattle goes for more o-line help early in the draft, but if they don’t I could see them using a late round pick on a versatile offensive lineman prospect to groom as a potential replacement in a year or so.
Enter Calvin Throckmorton.
Throckmorton will appeal to the Seahawks thanks to his incredible versatility, having played everywhere on the offensive line except left tackle.
A right tackle by trade, Throckmorton would give the Seahawks instant depth across the line, and a potential long-term developmental piece as well.
The Seahawks always covet versatility, and finding a player like Throckmorton with their final pick would round out a very solid draft by John Schneider and company.
