Russell Wilson may have a tendency to hold the ball too long, but he also has a horrendous offensive line. His time in the pocket has been minimal, at best, in recent seasons, and the Seattle Seahawks have done little to correct that flaw.
At the 2018 NFL Draft, the Seahawks can make significant progress towards addressing the issue by drafting Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn.
Wynn is one of the most versatile offensive linemen in the 2018 NFL Draft. He lined up at both tackle and guard during his collegiate career. Most project him as a player who would be better along the interior of an offensive line.
Even if that proves to be the case, both Wilson and the Seahawks’ running backs would benefit from improving the integrity of the offensive line.
Wynn has the ability to create running lanes for a revamped Seattle running game, which could be formed in one of the later rounds. He was a responsible as anyone on Georgia’s line for the lanes available to Nick Chubb and Sony Michel.
Seattle has other options, but Wynn is the best offensive lineman available and nothing matters more for this franchise than protecting the quarterback.
