Haynes is (6-foot-2, 313 pounds) arguably the top interior offensive lineman still on the board when the Seahawks made their second pick of the draft.
Haynes played right guard for the Huskies at a consistent level, earning grades of 72.0 in 2021, 83.9 in 2022 and 80.2 overall in 2023 from Pro Football Focus in his college career.
Haynes projects to be the team’s Week 1 starter at right guard for this coming season. However, he may have to beat out 2023 fourth-round draft pick Anthony Bradford over the summer for it to be official.
