Grading Seahawks Rookies After First Trimester of 2024 Season
Wrapping up a mini bye as they begin preparations this week for a tough road game against the Atlanta Falcons, the 3-3 Seattle Seahawks are now a third of the way through a roller coaster first season under new head coach Mike Macdonald.
Through six games, the Seahawks haven’t received major contributions from their 2024 draft class as hoped, though injuries have certainly been a factor with Byron Murphy II sidelined for three games. On offense, only AJ Barner has played more than 25 percent of the team’s snaps, while Tyrice Knight is the only defender to surpass that threshold with Murphy out.
Dishing out the first progress report of the season, here’s how Knight and the rest of Seattle’s rookie class grade out after the opening trimester of the 2024 campaign.
Read the offensive report card here and the defensive report card here.
Before suffering a hamstring injury in Week 3, though his run defense was inconsistent, Murphy flashed his tremendous upside as an interior pass rusher for the Seahawks, producing seven pressures and a sack while posting a 15.4 percent pass rush win rate, which still ranks sixth among defensive tackles with at least 45 pass rushing reps. His 28.6 percent pass rush win rate on true pass sets currently ranks second among that group as well.
Unfortunately, any momentum built up in the first few weeks was immediately stalled by Murphy’s injury, preventing him from making the impact the team hoped he would thus far.
Grade: B
Unable to beat out Anthony Bradford for the starting right guard job out of training camp and the preseason, Haynes has gradually received increased playing time, rotating into the lineup for a handful of series over the past several weeks. However, he hasn’t taken full advantage of those opportunities, allowing a sack and three pressures on 51 pass blocking reps and has had difficulties dealing with the power of NFL defensive tackles as a run blocker.
With neither player creating separation on the field, an in-season competition remains ongoing, but Haynes has yet to seize his chances to take the job despite Bradford’s struggles.
Grade: D+
Thrust into a starting role for a pair of games in place of an injured Jerome Baker, Knight acclimated himself well in the middle of Mike Macdonald’s defense, particularly as a run defender. He tallied 14 tackles in three games where he saw defensive snaps and only missed one tackle, showcasing the efficiency he demonstrated as a downhill thumper starring at UTEP.
Knight has had a few slipups in coverage, including getting tricked on a long tight end screen against the Patriots, but overall, he’s done well with his limited chances and could see more action later in the season as a result.
Grade: B
In terms of overall impact, Barner has arguably been Seattle’s best all-around rookie. Despite not being known for his receiving prowess at Michigan, he has been a reliable target for Geno Smith, catching all seven of his targets for 66 yards and a touchdown, turning those chances into six first downs while averaging 6.1 yards after the catch per reception.
Barner has also been solid in the blocking department, outperforming veteran Pharaoh Brown as an inline tight end in that regard. Aside from a couple of penalties, he’s played quite well and may have more opportunities in the passing game coming his way as he develops trust from Smith.
Grade: B+
Thrown into the fire late in a Week 5 loss to the Giants, Pritchett produced a key third down pass breakup to force a punt in the closing moments, giving Smith and company one last shot to either tie or win the game. That stands out as his highlight and statistically, he has allowed just three catches on eight targets, but he lucked out on the previous drive when quarterback Daniel Jones airmailed a wide open Darius Slayton in the end zone after he had beaten the rookie defender on a corner route.
Pritchett also has three missed tackles on just five attempts, posting an ugly 60 percent miss rate in limited action, so there’s plenty of room for improvement.
Grade: C+
Though he made Seattle’s initial 53-man roster, Laumea has been experiencing an unofficial “redshirt” year and has yet to suit up for a regular season game with the team activating undrafted rookie center Jalen Sundell instead. He may have a chance to play later in the season, but for now, he’s being stashed on the roster as a developmental prospect.
Grade: N/A
Like Laumea, Jerrell sat out the first five games as a healthy scratch, which shouldn’t come as a surprise considering he has been making the jump from Division II to the NFL and likely isn’t ready to play meaningful snaps as a tackle. He did get his first chance to dress against the 49ers in Week 6, playing four special teams snaps, but it remains to be seen whether or not he will play at all on offense this year.
Grade: N/A
One of two undrafted rookies to make Seattle’s 53-man roster, Williams has struggled mightily fielding kicks and punts cleanly, including muffing a punt in the season opener against the Broncos. That number could have been doubled if officials correctly ruled that he touched a punt that was recovered by the 49ers last week, and that would have compounded the fact he didn’t field a kickoff cleanly and got tackled at the 10-yard line.
On the plus side, Williams has returned a punt 23 yards and also had a 39-yard kickoff return, so he has made positive contributions when he has been able to field the ball cleanly.
Grade: C-
SEATTLE – Western Washington is staying locked into a cool and unsettled weather pattern as we head into the second half of the week.
Showers will continue to rotate through the region over the next several days as a series of weather disturbances move overhead, keeping skies mostly cloudy and temperatures running below average for mid-May.
Thursday will bring a brief break in the action before the next weak system arrives later in the day. Expect scattered showers to redevelop with plenty of cloud cover sticking around. Temperatures will remain cool, with highs near 60 degrees.
It will be cool on Thursday in Western Washington with increasing clouds and showers. (FOX 13 Seattle)
What’s next:
The weather turns a bit more active Friday as the next system swings into the Pacific Northwest. Western Washington will see widespread showers and even the possibility of a few isolated thunderstorms. While not everyone will hear thunder, a few heavier downpours and small hail can’t be ruled out if any storms manage to develop during the afternoon.
Rain showers will push through Western Washington again on Friday afternoon. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Saturday will be cool with scattered showers and another chance for isolated thunderstorms, especially near the Cascades. Afternoon highs will struggle to make it out of the 50s across many lowland Puget Sound area communities.
Mountain travelers should also be prepared for a dramatic change compared to the recent warm spell. Much colder air will filter into the Cascades this weekend, and while significant snow accumulation looks unlikely, higher elevations could still see snow showers and sharply colder conditions. Anyone planning outdoor recreation in the mountains should be ready for winter-like weather at times.
Snow levels will drop to near pass levels in the Washington Cascades Friday through Sunday. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Looking Ahead:
The pattern finally begins to improve late in the weekend and into early next week. High pressure is expected to rebuild over the northeastern Pacific, bringing a return to drier weather and some sunshine. Temperatures should gradually rebound back into the 60s by Monday and Tuesday, although the ridge may remain weak enough to allow for occasional clouds at times.
Temperatures will be cool the next three days with showers in Seattle, but next week will be drier and warmer. (FOX 13 Seattle)
