The Seattle Seahawks have selected center Ethan Pocic out of LSU in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 58th overall.
Seattle's puzzling lack of attention to the offensive line ends on Day 2 of the draft, as they now add a top talent who will have every opportunity to step in and emerge as a leader up front.
Pocic played several different positions during his three-year starting career at LSU, a factor that should suit him well with a team that has no problem moving its linemen around in search of the best fit.
