player. 36. <p>Seattle’s offensive line was, to be kind, a “problem” during the 2015 season, and left tackle Russell Okung is now facing free agency. In short, the Seahawks are in a position where they absolutely must address at least one (if not multiple) spots within that unit, and this pick would be a nice place to start.</p>
<p>Jason Spriggs isn’t exactly a household name after a four-year career at Indiana, but he was one of the prospects at the Senior Bowl that generated the most attention. The 6-foot-6, 292-pound tackle actually began his college career as a tight end, and as a result, he brings a ton of athleticism to the table when compared to the other tackles in this draft.</p>
<p>The Seahawks could easily look in a different direction at the same position, perhaps in the form of Auburn’s Shon Coleman, but drafting an offensive tackle to develop would be the move given what Seattle already has on its roster. Spriggs has the size and athleticism to become a very nice player at the NFL level, and protecting Russell Wilson should be the first (and top) priority for Seattle’s front office prior to the start of the 2016 NFL season.</p>. OT. Indiana. Jason Spriggs. 26
