Here’s a look at a portion of Lucas’ scouting report from Draft Wire’s Natalie Miller.
The Seattle Seahawks selected the perfect complement to new left tackle Charles Cross when they picked right tackle Abraham Lucas out of Washington State at No. 72 overall.
Here’s a look at a portion of Lucas’ scouting report from Draft Wire’s Natalie Miller.
Lucas was a reliable presence for the Cougars, starting 42 games at right tackle. Over the last two years, he allowed just one sack, while also being a prominent piece in Wazzu’s running game, which averaged 122 yards per game.
Possessing great length for the position, Lucas has ideal size and strength to anchor the right side of the line. He’s technically sound in pass blocking, with his hands matching his feet. He rarely lunges into blocks, allowing his length and natural core strength take over rushers, locking them down with great hand usage. Off the snap, his hands pop and land with force into the chest, and sustain while his core strength allows his feet to stick inside.
As a run blocker, Lucas allows his reach to help him lean into blocks and drive back defenders off the line. His strength and length pushes his initial attack forward, and bulls over defenders when they are adjusting or caught off-guard. He clearly has the right mentality in the run game, as he takes on blocks with a meanness, and seeks to finish with authority.

The Seattle Seahawks love big, speedy wide receivers, and Washington State’s Dezmon Patmon could be an intriguing addition.
Over the past two seasons, the Seattle Seahawks have dipped into the local talent pool by selecting players from the University of Washington in back-to-back drafts.
However, even though the program improved tremendously with coach Mike Leach at the helm, Seattle rarely tapped into the pool of players from UW’s rival, Washington State University.
Part of that is simply a schematic issue, as Leach ran an air raid offense with tons of passing and very little defense, which didn’t leave a lot of NFL-caliber players at positions Pete Carroll and his staff like to target in the draft.
The group of WSU Cougars who are hoping to hear their name called in 2020 are more of the same, though one name could be of interest to Seattle: Receiver Dezmon Patmon.
Patmon had over 750 receiving yards in each of the past two seasons, leading WSU with 816 and five touchdowns as a junior and hauling in eight scores last year.
Patmon will appeal to the Seahawks much in the way DK Metcalf did, as a big-bodied receiver with surprising speed. Patmon is six-foot-four and 225 pounds, which makes his 4.48 40-yard dash time extremely impressive. It was first among all PAC-12 receivers and 19th overall at the combine.
Patmon doesn’t have the ball skills and physicality that Metcalf has, and he had drop issues in college, but it’s not hard to imagine the Seahawks taking him on as a project if he is available as an undrafted free agent.
With Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Phillip Dorsett, David Moore, Malik Turner and John Ursua in the mix, Seattle does not need an immediate impact receiver. Patmon would be a nice player to stash on the practice squad and develop into a more physical, tougher receiver.
If it works, he could be another diamond in the rough and might even open up the door for more Cougars to make their way west to Seattle.
