The Seattle Seahawks likely do not regret selecting defensive tackle Byron Murphy II with the No. 16 overall selection in the 2024 NFL draft. Though Murphy battled the occasional injury throughout his rookie season, he looked downright dominant at times when healthy. The former Texas standout concluded his rookie campaign having recorded 36 total tackles, and remains a big part of Seattle’s defensive future.
Despite that, Marcus Mosher of The 33rd Team has the Seahawks going in a different direction in his latest 2024 NFL redraft. Mosher has the Seahawks drafting Zach Frazier, a center prospect from West Virginia. Frazier went to the Steelers in the second round.
“Zach Frazier fell to the middle of Round 2, but he was one of the best centers in the NFL as a rookie,” Mosher wrote. “He fits any scheme, and his toughness makes him a perfect fit for the Seattle Seahawks. Drafting a center in the middle of Round 1 usually isn’t the best value, but Frazier projects as a 10-year starter and would instantly improve the interior offensive line for the Seahawks.”
Seattle struggled across the interior of their offensive line throughout 2024. They signed veteran Connor Williams to play center, but he abruptly retired midseason. Williams was replaced by Olu Oluwatimi, who delivered inconsistent results. Meanwhile Frazier immediately established himself as a high-level center. The Seahawks may enter the market this offseason for a center of Frazier’s quality.
It’s worth noting Murphy II was still selected in the first round, by the Green Bay Packers at No. 25 overall.
