Abraham Lucas, the stout, four-year offensive tackle at Washington State, gets to live out his NFL dream close to home. The Seattle Seahawks selected Lucas with the 72nd pick of the draft yesterday. The Everett native, who had some first round attributes, will get a chance to play in the NFL about 26 miles from where he played his high school football.
Lucas was the eighth offensive tackle to be drafted and is Seattle’s second Mike Leach-coached offensive tackle taken in the draft. He’s the fist Coug drafted by the Seahawks since Marcus Trufant went in the first round in 2003.
