The Seattle Seahawks have undoubtedly been productive with their last three NFL drafts. Thanks to loading up on extra selections from the Russell Wilson trade, they made 27 picks over the 2022, 2023 and 2024 drafts.

The collective exhale you heard Thursday was from Seahawks fans thankful their team drafted an offensive lineman. Here's what people are saying about the pick.

Fortunately, the Seahawks found a guard in Zabel to convince Schneider to stay put at No. 18 ( not trading back) to draft at such a lofty position. By doing so, Seattle actually made some franchise history. Zabel became the highest guard drafted by the Seahawks since they selected Hall of Famer Steve Hutchinson No. 17 overall in the 2001 NFL draft.
