Projecting the Seahawks Offensive Line After Big Changes During 2020 Offseason

The Seattle Seahawks have certainly paid attention to their team's needs this offseason. They've invested heavily in the offensive line, signing four new players. With so many new faces and George Fant and Germain Ifedi gone, things are going to look a lot different in front of Russell Wilson.

The one position that seems to be the most certain is left tackle. It'll be Duane Brown, who is a four-time Pro Bowler and a perennial star in the National Football League. However, after an injury took him out of four games in 2019, his backup could play an important role. Look to Brandon Shell, a new acquisition from the New York Jets to be a backup if needed. Shell also has experience at RT, and his versatility makes him an attractive fit in Seattle.

At left guard, Ethan Pocic will likely take over. He suffered a core injury that required surgery in 2019, which forced him to miss 12 games. Fully recovered, he should be able to contribute on the interior, either at guard or center. Jamarco Jones was a good replacement last year on both sides of the center, so he'll be a great depth guy at the tackle spots.

B.J. Finney from the Pittsburgh Steelers will take over at center. He entered the league as a center, and he'll stay that way in Seattle, though his experience at left and right guard could come in handy.

At right guard, D.J. Fluker will keep his starting job. He battled some injuries, but 2020 is a new year. Recuperated and ready to go, he'll be the man right of center.

Last but not least, Cedric Ogbuehi from the Jacksonville Jaguars ought to take over at right tackle. He was a reserve player in 2019, but the Seahawks should give the former first-round draft pick an opportunity to be a marquis player on a winning roster. Leave it to Pete Carroll to get the most out of a former Jags flame-out.
