The Seattle Seahawks are heading into the offseason with a potentially massive overhaul of their offensive line in store.
Starting left guard Mike Iupati and right tackle Germain Ifedi are both unrestricted free agents, along with backup tackle George Fant. Center Joey Hunt is a restricted free agent, and both center Justin Britt and right guard D.J. Fluker are potential cut candidates.
This almost certainly means 1-2 starters will be new in 2020, and the team will have to choose whether to pursue veterans on the open market, or to try to find replacements via the NFL draft.
One of my personal favorite targets, should they choose to explore upgrading via the draft, is University of Washington center Nick Harris.
Harris brings versatility as both a center and a guard, and scouts have praised him for his work in run protection, particularly when getting to the second level, as well as his high football IQ .
He seems to be an ideal fit for the offensive package the Seahawks currently employ, and under the tutelage of Mike Solari it’s easy to imagine him turning into a very solid NFL starter.
Most current mock drafts have him in the second or third round range, and if that holds up it would behoove the Seahawks to strongly consider him.
With Ethan Pocic, Phil Haynes and Jamarco Jones alongside Harris, the Seahawks could potentially put together a young, strong, cohesive offensive line in the next year or two.
