The Seahawks addressed the guard position by taking Haynes in the third round.
With the 81st overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks selected UConn right guard Christian Haynes. Guard was a need for this team after the departures of Damien Lewis and Phil Haynes in free agency. Last year’s fourth-round pick Anthony Bradford did have a respectable rookie season, allowing just one sack, but nonetheless Seattle pushed to upgrade interior of the offensive line after selecting two offensive tackles in Charles Cross and Abe Lucas back in 2022.
He excels at getting his shoulders turned and parallel with the line of scrimmage in these scenarios. On reach blocks, Haynes is quick enough out of his stance in order to beat defenders to the spot which allows him to seal the backside. Haynes is not heavy handed in the run game. But he packs enough punch to be able to knock defensive linemen off of the path and redirect them away from the run lane if he is not sealing them off.
