"A four-year Air Raid right tackle who allowed zero sacks as a senior and then tested in the 96th percentile everywhere it mattered, with a run-blocking file too thin to argue about."Pre-draft read
Lucas is a pure right tackle built for a pass-first structure: a 6-foot-6, 315-pound frame with a quick set and the patience to let rushers come to him. In Mike Leach's Air Raid he took roughly 2,200 pass-blocking snaps, and the volume shows in how unhurried he looks — he slides to the corner without crossing his feet and re-anchors calmly when a bull rush tests him.
The second trait is testing athleticism that backs the tape: a 4.92 forty and a 7.25 three-cone, both elite for a lineman, and it shows on screens and when he climbs to a linebacker. The run game is where he lags — his pads drift high and he plays with more length than raw power — but the signature is pass-set consistency: zero sacks allowed on 477 pass-blocking snaps in 2021.
Pass-first, quick-game offense that lets its right tackle set vertically and win with footwork rather than displacing defenders in a gap run game.
Year 1: immediate starting right tackle in a spread or play-action passing structure. Ceiling: top-12 right tackle in the league who stabilizes one bookend for a decade.
A downhill duo or gap-power run scheme that lives on the right tackle generating movement at the point of attack and finishing combos on the second level.
The pass sets are pro-ready on day one; the run blocking has to be schemed around rather than relied upon.

Abraham Lucas (OT | Seattle Seahawks) Washington State Highlights
Draft-night reel of his college tape, showing the quick set and anchor Seattle bet on at pick 72.
Lucas is a four-year starter at right tackle whose entire evaluation ran through pass protection, which is exactly what you get from a lineman raised inside an Air Raid. A three-star recruit from Everett who arrived at Washington State as a 250-pound high school defensive end and left at 315, he started every game from his redshirt freshman year on, made Freshman All-America in 2018 and earned all-conference honors all four years, capped by first-team All-Pac-12 in 2021.
His production was the cleanest in the class at the position: no sacks and nine pressures across 477 pass-blocking snaps as a senior, second-best among college tackles. The flags mirrored that strength — a run-blocking file thinned out by an offense that almost never asked him to displace a defender, a tendency to bend at the waist, and a build scouts read as right-side-only.
Then he tested. The forty, three-cone and shuttle all landed in the 96th percentile or better among linemen, and rooms that had him as a Day 3 developmental body moved him up. Boards settled him in the late-second to third-round range as a plug-and-play right tackle with a limited ceiling, and Seattle — already holding Charles Cross from ninth overall — took the hometown player at 72 to finish both bookends in one draft.
- 01
Pass-set volume
roughly 2,200 career pass-blocking snaps in an Air Raid gave him more reps against pro-style rush plans than almost any tackle in the class.
- 02
Elite lineman testing
a 4.92 forty, 7.25 three-cone and 4.40 shuttle all landed in the 96th percentile or better among offensive linemen at the Combine.
- 03
Zero-sack senior year
allowed no sacks and only nine pressures on 477 pass-blocking snaps in 2021, grading among the two best pass protectors in college football.
- 04
Four-year starter
started every game from his redshirt freshman season on, earning all-conference honors in each of his four years in Pullman.
- 05
Calm feet in the corner
slides to the edge without crossing over, keeps his head behind his hands and re-anchors under a bull rush instead of panicking.
- 01
Thin run-blocking file
the Air Raid rarely asked him to displace a defender, leaving little tape of him finishing blocks in a gap or duo run scheme.
- 02
Waist bender
drops his head and plays high when rushers attack his outside shoulder, which surrenders his chest and stalls his recovery.
- 03
Right-side-only projection
the foot speed and length read as a right tackle profile, with no realistic path to protecting a blind side in the NFL.
- 04
Functional power
carries his weight well but does not generate movement at the point of attack, which caps his value in short-yardage situations.

Game counts from Tankathon's season table (2018-2021; 13+13+4+12 = 42, matching the career line). He redshirted in 2017. Offensive linemen do not accumulate box-score production; season start totals were not available from a primary source and are left null rather than estimated, though he is widely reported as a four-year starter.
A dash means the figure is not published by a source we trust — never a zero we invented.
Dependable starting right tackle who protects well and gets paid handsomely despite a limited run-blocking ceiling.
Athletic right tackle whose light feet and testing profile translate into a decade of blindside-quality protection from the right side.
Pass-set-only tackle who never adds functional power and gets rotated out in heavy run personnel.
Everything above is the pre-draft evaluation. This section is what actually happened — updated year over year.
Abraham Lucas has played two seasons as a right tackle for the Seattle Seahawks. He started all 16 games he played in his rookie season but dealt with injuries in his second year.
Seattle handed him the right tackle job on day one and he kept it. He started all sixteen games he played as a rookie in 2022 and immediately looked like the best value of that draft class, then a patellar tendon problem in his right knee took the next two years: six starts in 2023, surgery in January 2024, and seven games in 2024 in which he admitted he was never fully right. The 2025 season answered the question — a full seventeen-start regular season, three postseason starts, and a Super Bowl LX ring after Seattle beat New England 29-13. Days before that season began, the Seahawks gave him a three-year extension worth about $46 million, making him the first player from the 2022 class to sign a second contract.
The evaluation was accurate and the price was a steal. Every board said the same thing: a finished pass protector, a right tackle only, a thin run-blocking file — and all three held up. What nobody priced was the durability scare in the middle of the deal, or the fact that a third-round tackle with a hard ceiling would still be worth franchise money four years later. The lesson is about positional economics: an average-to-good starting tackle who blocks for a championship offense is worth far more than the modest ceiling attached to his scouting report.
