Locked On Seahawks - Daily Podcast On The Seattle Seahawks Locked On Podcast Network

As the Seattle Seahawks gear up for the final phase of their offseason program with OTAs kicking off at the VMAC later this week, the starting job at right guard should be up for grabs with as many as two competitors vying to win the role.

Getting their feet wet in an NFL practice before merging with veterans next week at OTAs, coach Mike Macdonald and his coaching staff got their first on-field look at the Seahawks 2024 draft class at rookie minicamp on Friday and Saturday.

Hitting the practice field for the first time, the Seattle Seahawks latest draft class kicked off a much different looking rookie minicamp under new head coach Mike Macdonald on Friday, including a newly-signed Byron Murphy II.

Starting as a redshirt freshman and never looking back while earning multiple All-Pac 12 accolades at guard and tackle for Utah, Sataoa Laumea landed with the Seattle Seahawks as a sixth-round pick and will look to become the franchise's next day three gem.

Just one week after receiving the call from general manager John Schneider, Seahawks first-round pick Byron Murphy was introduced to the media for the first time alongside Schneider and coach Mike Macdonald.

With the 2024 NFL Draft now in the rearview mirror and the Seattle Seahawks transitioning towards rookie minicamp and OTAs, as is always the case, some veterans will be thrilled by the incoming draft class and others will now have to watch their backs with new competition.
