With the No. 179 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL draft, the Seahawks have selected Utah offensive lineman Sataoa Laumea.

Laumea (6-foot-4, 311 pounds) mostly played right tackle during his time at Utah, but he also offers some experience at right guard. He may project as a guard at first and potentially take over for Abe Lucas at right tackle if he’s shut down due to his knee issue.
PFF gave Laumea a solid 68.7 run blocking grade last season, but only a 54.0 in pass blocking. For now Laumea projects as a backup behind Lucas and whoever wins the right guard competition, likely Christian Haynes.
