That question will be answered throughout the 2025 campaign. Until further notice, offensive lineman will be considered a focus-area ahead of next offseason as well.<\/p>\n<p>Pro Football Network recently released a three-round 2026 NFL mock draft. In the first round, the Seahawks take Utah Utes offensive tackle Spencer Fano at No. 15 overall.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Seattle Seahawks\u2019 run offense was among the worst in the NFL last season, and much of that falls on the offensive line,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballnetwork.com\/3-round-2026-nfl-mock-draft-dorsey-july\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PFN wrote<\/a>. &#8220;Here, they can attack that weakness by selecting Spencer Fano.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fano isn\u2019t the best pass-blocking offensive tackle in this class, but standing at 6\u20195\u2033, 302 pounds, he\u2019s physically imposing and possesses elite play strength. He was one of the country\u2019s best run-blocking tackles in 2024 and would be a great fit alongside Charles Cross in Seattle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>PFN essentially has Fano replacing <a href=\"https:\/\/seahawkswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/seahawks\/2025\/06\/18\/seahawks-make-or-break-player-abe-lucas-under-pressure-in-2025\/84256961007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Abe Lucas at right tackle<\/a>. Lucas is entering a make-or-break season in 2025. If the oft-injured blocker fails to stay healthy and perform this season, Schneider will undeniably enter the market for his replacement next offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Charles Cross is expected to sign a lucrative multi-year contract extension. Deciding on Cross&#8217; long-term bookend partner is a must this season. Hopefully that&#8217;s Lucas. If not, right tackle will be a high priority next offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Did Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider do enough to boost his offensive line this offseason?
