2017 NFL Mock Draft: Jimmy Garoppolo Trade Impacts Early

Watching the loss to Atlanta, it was clearer than ever that the Seattle Seahawks’ biggest mistake over the past couple seasons was allowing their offensive line to get into such a depleted state. That’s what happens when their Pro Bowl center Max Unger is traded and sturdy left tackle Russell Okung allowed to leave in free agency. They just aren’t dominating the line of scrimmage like they used to, and it’s costing them precious chances at another Super Bowl. <p>This has to change. Ryan Ramczyk has emerged as perhaps the best left tackle prospect in an otherwise weak class. He’s an athletic pass protector who shows enough strength to be a factor in the ground game. For the Seahawks it will be crucial to know the stay of a hip injury he suffered. If it checks out though he could end up being the first major step back towards respectability in the trenches.</p>.
