The Seahawks have made another pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, selecting Sataoa Laumea a tackle out of Utah with pick No. 179 overall in the 6th round.

Laumea was a four-year starter at the University of Utah, playing in 45 games and having 44 consecutive starts. Laumea split games between right tackle and right guard, 25 and 19 games at each position, respectively. He was named All-Pac-12 four times and earned first-team honors in 2022.

Laumea’s draft analysis per Lance Zierlein, NFL:

“Four-year starter with extensive experience at both right guard and right tackle. Laumea is a very competent drive blocker and possesses adequate agility and athleticism to get to lateral landmarks on the move.

He can get from block to block as a climber and is generally conscientious of his footwork to bolster his success on positional blocks. His habit of over-setting and opening inside tracks to the pocket is a concern, whether he’s at tackle or guard. One issue that might not be correctable is his propensity for disengaging from blocks after initial contact rather than sustaining. Laumea fits all run schemes and has future starting potential at guard.”
