Those two players certainly stood out to Seattle Sports\u2019 Dave Wyman, a former NFL linebacker who now is the Seahawks Radio Network broadcast analyst in addition to his day job as co-host of Wyman and Bob.<\/p>\n
In terms of Emmanwori, Wyman said he fit \u201ca theme of big, nasty dudes\u201d that the Seahawks are running with, and that true to the comparisons we have heard, Emmanwori \u201clooks like Kam Chancellor out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for Milroe, Wyman said he \u201clooked great\u201d and \u201cthrows a nice ball,\u201d while giving the caveat that the former Alabama signal-caller was \u201cobviously throwing against lesser competition.\u201d<\/p>\n
But after watching some of the minicamp from the sidelines, the position group Wyman spent the most time talking about on Monday afternoon was the one that entered the offseason needing the most improvement.<\/p>\n
The Seahawks used three of their 11 picks in last month\u2019s NFL Draft on offensive linemen \u2013 guards Grey Zabel (first round), Bryce Cabeldue (sixth round) and Mason Richman (seventh round) \u2013 and the good news is Wyman said they all \u201clook good.\u201d<\/p>\n
And, as you might expect, Zabel received the most praise.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you watch Zabel, he is just so balanced,\u201d Wyman said of the North Dakota State product. \u201cIt\u2019s almost like you can\u2019t tell looking at his lower body whether he\u2019s run blocking or pass blocking. He\u2019s just so balanced and steady. My comp to him was (Hall of Famer and Oilers\/Titans great) Bruce Matthews<\/a>, who just you couldn\u2019t beat him, couldn\u2019t get around him.\u201d<\/p>\n The first reps for @GreyZabel<\/a>. pic.twitter.com\/AJvjkQrZAd<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks) May 4, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Wyman qualified that, in general, it\u2019s easier to get a read on linemen at this stage of the offseason. But he still saw things that has him optimistic that a turnaround could be coming on the O-line in 2025.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you just look at their pad level\u2026 and then just their hips and their feet, that kind of stuff, that really shows up. And it just looks like this is going to be a much improved offensive line,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n There are a couple other things informing Wyman\u2019s opinion. One is new Seahawks offensive line coach John Benton<\/a>, who didn\u2019t seem to have a problem offering constructive criticism during drills over the weekend. And another is the fact that Seattle has a few other young offensive linemen from last year\u2019s rookie class who Benton can help mold.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s cool to see 76, 77, 78 (Zabel, Cabeldue and Richman), all those guys listed as guards. But don\u2019t forget about the guys that they not only have returning, but then also some of the the young guys from last year like Michael Jerrell, Christian Haynes, Anthony Bradford, (Sataoa Laumea). We\u2019ll see how much that really takes effect, but I think these offensive lineman are going to love playing for Benton. \u2026 He sounds kind of gruff and old school.\u201d<\/p>\n For more from Wyman on the Seahawks\u2019 2025 rookie class, watch his breakdown of the draft picks in the video at the top of this post.<\/p>\n Catch Wyman and Bob<\/a> from 2-7 p.m. weekdays on Seattle Sports.<\/p>\n Seattle Seahawks news and analysis<\/p>\n \u2022 Brock: The good news about Seahawks QB Jalen Milroe\u2019s throwing<\/a>
