In a recent HawksZone Rundown episode, we sat down with Seattle Seahawks beat writer and Emerald City Spectrum founder Corbin Smith to dissect the Seahawks’ 2025 prospects, focusing on OTAs, the NFC West, the draft class, Sam Darnold’s potential, the running game, the offensive line, and paths to an elite defense.
Smith views OTAs as critical for sorting out the offensive line, where first-rounder Grey Zabel looks to grab the left guard spot and Bradford/ Haynes compete for the right guard spot. Abe Lucas starting OTAs healthy will be pivotal to protect new quarterback Sam Darnold and spark the offense, and Smith has a high opinion of Lucas’ ceiling for the 2025 season.
