Seahawks: 3 OL options in 2021 NFL Draft amid Russell Wilson frustration

Trey Smith, OG, Tennessee

His fit at the next level is most likely going to be an offensive guard. While tackle is most likely more of what Russel Wilson would like to see, if they can start getting more pull inside and open up better-run lanes Wilson won’t have to throw as much.

Tennessee was a train wreck, yes, but Trey Smith has been on the NFL radar since high school he’s a massive man at 6-foot-6 and 320 pounds and I would expect a 40-time around 5.2 during pro-days.

In 2017 when he came in as a freshman he looked like the best offensive lineman in all of college football, but a blood clot in his lung scuttled much of his early career. He was an elite prospect and I don’t think that dropped of his play was just up and down with the staff, and his inconsistency early on to stay on the field with his medical issue.

While Tennessee was not good at much in 2020, Trey Smith certainly was, and if this was a different draft I see no way he ends up in the second round they will get good value at a player who can play guard or tackle. Versatility at the offensive line now and days in the NFL is of immense value and he is a player who can do both.

Smith is a player who has great natural ability but was marred by complete uncertainty with medical problems and issues at quarterback, running back, and offensive scheme during his time at Tennessee. When he can settle down with a consistent offense he should thrive. Getting him in the second round would be an insane value, and give Chris Carson better-run lanes.

Wilson can’t get hit if he doesn’t have the ball. Don’t forget this was a player at one time during his freshman year, many thought was a lock as a top-ten pick when he did make the jump.
